IB Math Analysis and Approaches Higher Level is the most challenging mathematics course in the IB program. It's designed for students planning to study mathematics, engineering, physics, or other STEM fields at university. The course emphasizes theoretical understanding, rigorous proofs, and advanced calculus concepts.
AA HL includes all AA SL content plus advanced topics: complex numbers, further calculus techniques, Taylor and Maclaurin series, differential equations, and additional statistics. The course requires approximately 240 teaching hours compared to 150 for SL.
AA HL assessment includes Paper 1 (30%, 2 hours, no calculator), Paper 2 (30%, 2 hours, calculator allowed), Paper 3 (20%, 1 hour, calculator allowed), and Internal Assessment (20%). Paper 3 contains the most challenging questions requiring extended responses and proofs.
Start with a strong foundation in algebra and pre-calculus. Practice regularly with past papers, focusing on proof techniques and complex problem-solving. Use our video tutorials to understand difficult concepts, and don't hesitate to seek help early when struggling with topics.
