Course summary

Maths Course Outline The course builds upon students’ previous experience of Mathematics, developing some topics further and introducing many new topics. Students are expected to undertake 5 hours of work away from the classroom each week. Year 12 You will cover the essential pure mathematical methods that can be applied to real world scenarios. Topics include solving equations, graphs and transformations, coordinate geometry, logarithms and exponentials, trigonometry, and differentiation and integration. You will also study some mechanics in the form of kinematics, forces and Newton’s Laws as well as some statistics including probability theory and hypothesis testing. Year 13 The work in pure mathematics is extended to include topics such as sequences and series, functions, numerical methods and 3D vectors. There will also be more material in mechanics such as the resolution of forces, moments and the study of friction. In statistics more advanced probability theory will be covered and you will investigate statistical distributions such as the Normal Distribution. Further Maths Course Outline Year 12 You will cover essential pure mathematical methods such as the principles of proof, complex numbers and matrices. You will also extend the mechanics and statistics work covered in your Maths A level to include momentum, circular motion, work and energy, the Poisson distribution and chi-squared contingency tables. Year 13 The work in pure mathematics is extended to include topics such as rational and hyperbolic functions, further calculus and polar coordinates. There will also be more material in the applied mathematical topics to study further, including simple harmonic motion, centres of mass and moments, the exponential, rectangular and t-distributions and calculation of confidence intervals.
