Maths Further (A Level)
Caroline Chisholm School
Course summary
Year 12 Students are introduced to advanced mathematical skills, focusing on some high level abstract and theoretical mathematics including matrices, complex numbers and polar coordinates. Students also sit an Applied module which will cover Statistics and Mechanics. Topics covered within this module include investigating statistical analysis, Poisson distribution, further hypothesis testing and Chi square testing for association. Mechanics will cover vectors and forces and will investigate kinematics with variable acceleration. Impulse and momentum problems along with energy equations and power will also be explored. Year 13 Students continue to advance their further mathematical skills and are now exposed to hyperbolic functions and De Moivre’s theorem, as well as developing complex numbers into Argand diagrams. They will also continue to work on their applied modules. In Statistics they will build further on their knowledge of continuous and discrete distributions, look at confidence intervals and explore hypothesis testing further. In Mechanics circular motion and dynamics for motion in a plane will be explored along with calculating centres of mass of objects.
