Paper 1: Pure Mathematics 1 Proof ● Algebra and functions – indices and surds, quadratics, simultaneous equations, inequalities, functions ● Coordinate geometry in the (x,y) plane – straight lines, the circle ● Sequences and series – binomial expansion ● Trigonometry – simple identities and equations ● Exponentials and logarithms ● Differentiation – first and second derivatives, tangents and normals ● Integration – definite and indefinite integration ● Vectors Paper 2: Pure Mathematics 2 ● Proof ● Algebra and functions – algebraic division, composite and inverse functions, partial fractions ● Coordinate geometry in the (x,y) plane – parametric equations ● Sequences and series – binomial expansion for rational powers, sigma notation, arithmetic and geometric series ● Trigonometry – radian measure, exact values, reciprocal ratios, further identities and equations ● Differentiation – trigonometric functions, product and quotient rules, parametric differentiation ● Integration – area under a curve, substitution and integration by parts, simple first order DE ● Numerical methods – roots of an equation, iterative methods, trapezium rule ● Vectors – three dimensions Paper 3: Statistics and Mechanics Section A: Statistics ● Statistical sampling ● Data presentation and interpretation ● Probability ● Statistical distributions ● Statistical hypothesis testing Section B: Mechanics ● Quantities and units in Mechanics ● Kinematics ● Forces and Newton’s laws ● Moments
Grade 7 in the Higher tier GCSE paper. All potential students will be required to sit a test based on the GCSE syllabus and the summer work in the September registration week. A satisfactory standard must be achieved on this test to embark on the course.
The course will be examined by three papers, each 2 hours long. Papers 1 and 2 will be assessing the Pure Mathematics content and Paper 3 will assess the Statistics and Mechanics parts of the course. All students will follow the same course content. All examinations are taken at the end of Year 13. The three papers are of equal weighting, each marked out of 100. Students must answer all the questions. Calculators can be used in all papers but there will be questions in which appropriate working must be shown to gain marks.
