Victoria (General Mathematics) develops applied mathematical skills across multiple strands. In Data Analysis, students study distributions, associations, linear models, and time series. Recursion and Financial Modelling covers depreciation, compound interest, loans, annuities, and perpetuities. Matrices focus on applications and transitions, while Networks and Decision Mathematics explores shortest paths, flows, trees, matching, and critical path analysis. Geometry and Measurement includes trigonometry and spherical geometry, while Graphs and Relations emphasise constructing and interpreting models.
