1. Introduction
Mathematics is an indispensable in many fields. It is essential in the field of engineering,
medicine, natural sciences, finance and other social sciences. The branch of mathematics
concerned with application of mathematical knowledge to other fields and inspires new
mathematical discoveries. The new discoveries in mathematics led to the development of entirely
new mathematical disciplines. School mathematics is necessary as the backbone for higher study
in different disciplines. Mathematics curriculum at secondary level is the extension of mathematics
curriculum offered in lower grades (1 to 10) and is the foundation course for higher study.
This course of Mathematics is designed for grade 11 and 12 students who wish to choose as an
alternative of Social Study and Life Skill education subject as per the curriculum structure
prescribed by the National Curriculum Framework, 2076. This course will be delivered using both
the conceptual and theoretical inputs through demonstration and presentation, discussion, and
group works as well as practical and project works in the real-world context.
This course includes different contents like; Algebra, Trigonometry, Analytic Geometry, Vectors,
Statistics and Probability, Calculus and Computational Methods or Mechanics.
