What is the subject about?
Mathematical Methods Units 3 and 4 extend the introductory study of simple elementary functions of a single real variable, to include combinations of these functions, algebra, calculus, probability and statistics, and their applications in a variety of practical and theoretical contexts. Units 3 and 4 consist of the areas of study ‘Algebra, number and structure’, ‘Data analysis, Probability and Statistics’, ‘Calculus’, and ‘Functions, Relations and Graphs.’ Assumed knowledge and skills for Mathematical Methods Units 3 and 4 are contained in Mathematical Methods Units 1 and 2, and will be drawn on, as applicable, in the development of related content from the areas of study

Because I really like maths and it is a challenge that I enjoy. It is really interesting and has a lot of variations that get more interesting the deeper you get into it.
