The ability to think mathematically and to use mathematical techniques to solve problems is one of the fundamental skills that underlie much of modern life. A surprisingly wide range of university courses have mathematical or statistical components and doing this course will give you the necessary background for these. It is also a fascinating and most enjoyable subject in its own right. The course will develop further the disciplines of pure maths, statistics and mechanics. You will be introduced to a variety of mathematical skills including, quadratic equations, plotting circles using formulae, graph transformations, logarithms, trigonometrical equations and calculus.
