Mathematics
Course summary
WHY STUDY THIS COURSE? Many universities consider mathematics to be one of the most valuable A-levels. It is a pre-requisite for some of the following courses; Physics, Accountancy, Mathematics and Statistics. If you are considering a career in the area of mathematics, Further Mathematics at A-level would certainly be advantageous. You will have the opportunity to develop decision making and problem-solving skills, transferable to any career path you choose. Further Mathematics qualifications are highly regarded by universities. Students who take Further Mathematics are demonstrating a strong desire for their mathematics studies, as well as learning mathematics that is very useful for any mathematically rich degree. Some of the skills you will learn; · Construct rigorous mathematical arguments · Assess the validity of mathematical arguments and explain your reasoning · Translate problems in mathematical and non-mathematical contexts into mathematical processes · Translate situations in context into mathematical models, evaluate the outcomes of modelling in context, recognise the limitations of models and, where appropriate, explain how to refine them. COURSE DESCRIPTION Paper 1 and Paper 2 Pure Mathematics Topics include; Proof, Algebra and Functions, Co-ordinate Geometry in the (x,y) plane, Sequences and Series, Trigonometry, Exponentials and Logarithms, Vectors, Sequences and Series, Binomial Expansion, Differentiation, Integration and Numerical Methods. Paper 3 Statistics and Mechanics; Topics include; Data Presentation and Interpretation, Correlation and Regression, Binomial Distribution, Normal Distribution and Statistical Hypothesis Testing, Probability, Kinematics, Forces and Newton’s Laws, Moments, Static Rigid Bodies, Projectiles, Application and Further Kinematics.
