Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

This course broadens the range of mathematical studies available to study and for pure mathematics there is also greater depth. It is excellent preparation if you are interested in studying a degree with a high mathematical content, or if you are simply wishing to develop further your capability in mathematics. Examples of topics within the further pure mathematics units include mathematical induction, complex numbers, differentiation and integration and numerical methods. Within the mechanics units, study will include force as a vector, Newton’s laws of motion, energy, work and power and equilibrium of rigid bodies in contact. You will develop skills in pure mathematics as well as statistics and mechanics. Examples of topics within the further pure mathematics units include mathematical induction, complex numbers, differentiation and integration and numerical methods. Within the mechanics unit, study will include energy, work and power, equilibrium of rigid bodies in contact, momentum and collisions and circular motion. Within the statistics unit, study will include combinations and permutations, regression, combining random variables and chi-squared tests.
