DP 1 Mathematics AI SL - Course Outline

This document outlines a 13-week course in mathematics AI (SL). Over the course, students will cover topics including arithmetic and geometric sequences/series, logarithms, linear and nonlinear functions, and modeling with functions. They will learn to graph functions, find their key features, and model real-world scenarios. Students will be assessed at the end of term to evaluate their understanding of the material.
