Mathematics

Course summary

Students will study Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics. Problem-solving and mathematical modelling are interwoven across all topics and form the over-arching theme of the course. Students will build on the skills acquired at GCSE and will learn new fascinating concepts to expand and apply their knowledge. Pure (66%) Statistics (17%) Mechanics (17%) Pure Content: Proof, algebra and functions, co-ordinate geometry, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponential and logarithm, calculus (differentiation and integration), numerical methods and vectors. Statistics Content: Statistical sampling, data representation, probability, statistical distributions (Binomial and Normal) and statistical hypotheses testing. Mechanics Content: Quantities and standard units, kinematics, moments, forces and Newton’s law. For more information, please see the full prospectus.
