Mathematics

Course summary

WHAT WILL I STUDY & LEARN? You will study aspects of Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, and Statistics with an emphasis on problem-solving and using mathematics to model real-life problems. You will also learn how to use technology (calculators, graphing software, and spreadsheets) effectively to help with both pure and applied mathematics. Pure Mathematics focuses on the key skills to success in the applied modules and other subjects. Topics include calculus (differentiation and integration), algebra, geometry, graphs, series, functions, trigonometry and vectors. Mechanics studies mathematical modeling, vectors, kinematics, dynamics, statics, and moments. Mechanics is particularly useful to students who are also studying Physics or considering a career in engineering. Statistics includes work on sampling, probability, correlation, regression, normal distribution, discrete random variables, histograms, and hypothesis testing.
