Mathematics

Course summary

Course Content The course is designed to introduce students to a wide range of analytical techniques, with a greater emphasis on their application of skills to a range of practical problems. Over two years you will be introduced to content in three different areas of Mathematics: Pure; Statistics and Mechanics. The Pure course includes: >Algebra and Functions >Coordinate Geometry >Vectors > Trigonometry > Calculus > Exponentials and Logarithms > Proof > Series and Sequences > Numerical Methods The Statistics course includes: > Interpretation of Data > Probability > Binomial Distribution > Hypothesis Testing > Scatter Graph Analysis > The Normal Distribution The Mechanics course includes: > Kinematics > Newton’s Laws > Moments Teaching Styles >Students will be taught in a variety of ways from formal teaching lessons which help prepare for tackling examination questions to activities and short investigations. >Students will use calculators, computer programmes and a large data set to investigate the topics previously mentioned. >Students are given assessments to assess their skills, knowledge retention and ability to problem solve as the course progresses. Career Opportunities The course is essential for anyone wishing to pursue a career in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Accountancy, Finance or Economics and Computing. It is also extremely useful for entry into a wide range of other fields of study such as Medicine, Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Social Sciences, Geography and Business Studies.
