The course is intended to further develop your understanding of mathematical modelling and the use of statistics in subjects such as Geography, Biology and Psychology. It will enhance your existing understanding of mathematical modelling and the use of statistics, in particular the application of the Normal Distribution and the use of correlation and regressions lines (you may have heard these called lines of best fit) to establish relationships in bivariate data. There is also a study of personal finance, including the calculation of interest on debt, mortgages and savings.
Grade 5 or above in GCSE Mathematics and English.
Mathematical Studies is assessed through two one hour papers, to be taken at the end of year 12, assessing different aspects of the course. Both papers may ask questions that require you to apply the knowledge, understanding and techniques that you have learnt to a scenario of which you have had detailed information in advance.
