Mathematics

Course summary

Students will cover pure, statistics and mechanics. The course is designed to build upon the Higherlevel material covered at GCSE, with students looking at more complex sequences, index laws, trigonometric graphs, simultaneous equations and algebraic functions. The course also looks at differentiation and integration within pure mathematics. Statistics looks at hypothesis testing, probability and the normal distribution and is a follow on from the statistics covered at GCSE. The mechanics component links to the material covered in Physics AS/A level, and looks at vectors, kinematics, Newton’s Laws and friction.
