We are working in the order of the essentials textbook.
We have done algebra, vectors, circular functions and complex numbers. We also finished our first SAC today based on those chapters.
Next week we're about to start differentiation techniques, even though we haven't done it in methods yet.

2013 ATAR - 88.50

Finished Complex Numbers, regions in argand plane and reciprocal graph/parametric equations.

Going to have a topic test on reciprocal graph/parametric equations.

My schools doing circular functions at the moment and we are up to sketching sec, cot and cosec graphs AKA the inverse functions.

Our school finished complex number a week ago. As of now we've been going through coordinate geometry + parametric equations

It's weird that a lot of people are doing parametric equations...
In my school, we did parametric equations as just one small topic under the category of "algebra", so we only really touched on it. We didn't go into detail.

Some schools do the same thing and some other schools don't.

Yeah, my school doesn't go much detail into parametric functions too its because my school uses maths quest. However, parametric functions would go a bit more detail in kinematics and vector functions/vector calculus :).

We're using heinemann, and we've done complex numbers, vectors, circular functions, and are doing antidifferentiation at the moment :)

First four exercises for complex numbers in the Essential book...suprecram this weekend

School's done complex numbers, vectors and circular functions

EDIT: do you guys do all the questions or just a few computational ones and then the more challenging looking ones?
