WHAT WILL I STUDY & LEARN? You will study aspects of Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, and Statistics with an emphasis on problem-solving and using mathematics to model real-life problems. You will also learn how to use technology (calculators, graphing software, and spreadsheets) effectively to help with both pure and applied mathematics. Pure Mathematics focuses on the key skills to success in the applied modules and other subjects. Topics include calculus (differentiation and integration), algebra, geometry, graphs, series, functions, trigonometry and vectors. Mechanics studies mathematical modeling, vectors, kinematics, dynamics, statics, and moments. Mechanics is particularly useful to students who are also studying Physics or considering a career in engineering. Statistics includes work on sampling, probability, correlation, regression, normal distribution, discrete random variables, histograms, and hypothesis testing.
You should have a grade 7, 8, or 9 (previously A or A*) at GCSE to be well prepared for success in Mathematics. If you have a grade 6 (previously a good B) or even a grade 7 at GCSE, you will need to accept advice from your teachers and work extremely hard to catch up throughout Year 12.
• There are three 2-hour exams. Two are on pure mathematics and the other is split between 50% mechanics and 50% statistics. • There is no coursework.
