* Pure mathematics covers more advanced topics in algebra, calculus, trigonometry, geometry and vectors and numerical methods. These involve concepts such as scalar and cross product of vectors with application to 3-dimensional space, different co-ordinate systems, and solutions of a range of differential equations, hyperbolic functions, matrices and mathematical induction. Content is divided over three modules FP1, FP2 and FP3. * Mechanics covers relative motion, collisions, more complex motion in one dimension, stability, application of vectors in mechanics, variable mass, moments of inertia of a rigid body and rotation of a rigid body. The content is covered in module M2. * Statistics covers the binomial and Poisson distributions, continuous random variables, continuous distributions, samples and hypothesis tests and consists of the S2 unit, and possibly also the S3 as an option * Decision maths studies networks, algorithms for making optimum choices about routes and pathways, and linear programming for maximising efficiency and profits.
8 or above in Mathematics.
In summer of Y12 students take examinations in Further Pure 1, Decision Maths 1 and Statistics 2 (which complements Statistics 1 which is studied as part of the normal A-Level Maths course). In the Summer of Year 13 June students will be examined in 2 more Further Pure modules (FP2 and FP3) and a 3rd applied unit of either Statistics 3, Mechanics 2 (studied alongside Mechanics 1 which is part of normal A-Level Maths), or Decision Maths 2). The choice of 3rd applied unit is flexible and depends upon the preference of the class each year. Each module has a 1 hour 30 minutes exam and may be repeated once only.
