Mathematics

Course summary

Course Principles • Encourage students to develop a deep understanding of Maths and an ability to apply it in a variety of contexts • Encourage students to use appropriate technology to deepen their Mathematical understanding and extend the range of problems they can solve • Use pre-release data in statistics to enable students to develop an understanding of working with real data to solve real problems. Units • Pure Mathematics – Proof, Algebra, Functions, Graphs, Coordinate geometry, Sequences and series, Trigonometry, Exponentials and logarithms, Calculus, Numerical methods and Vectors. • Mechanics – Models and quantities, Kinematics in one and two dimensions, Projectiles, Forces, Newton's laws of motion and Rigid bodies. • Statistics - Statistical sampling, Data presentation and interpretation, Probability, Probability distributions and Statistical hypothesis testing.
