Mathematics is, inherently, a sequential subject. There is a progression of material through all levels at which the subject is studied. It is assumed that students will already have confidence and competence in the content presented in standard type within the GCSE mathematics criteria. Students will make use of elements of this content when addressing problems within this Level 3 Certificate Mathematical Studies specification but this is not explicitly set out in subject content. This Level 3 Certificate Mathematical Studies specification aims to build on the knowledge, understanding and skills established in GCSE mathematics. + 3.1 Analysis of data + 3.2 Maths for personal finance + 3.3 Estimation + 3.4 Critical analysis of given data and models (including spreadsheets and tabular data) + 3.5 The normal distribution + 3.6 Probabilities and estimation + 3.7 Correlation and regression + 3.8 Critical path analysis
