Course summary

Students who are studying courses with a mathematical content (such as psychology, geography or any of the sciences) but who do not want to study a full A-level in mathematics. Also those students who are interested in studying useful and practical areas of mathematics at a higher level, such as how APR on credit cards is calculated. Please note the course is not suitable for those who want to study mathematics at degree level. Mathematics is an integral part of modern society in the age of electronics and the course is useful for those who are interested in understanding the underlying ideas behind financial and statistical analysis. Some universities have been giving reduced offers for social science degrees for students who have passed the Core Mathematics qualification as they tend to be better prepared for the mathematical rigour of degree level study. You will study analysis of data, mathematics for personal finance; this includes calculating how much you will repay on loans and credit cards to mortgages. The statistical element is particularly useful for the social sciences, in this optional module we study: the normal distribution, regression and correlation, probability and sampling.
