Course summary

Mathematics can be split into three core areas: pure mathematics (geometry, trigonometry, algebra and calculus); statistics (probability, estimation, correlation and regression, sampling, hypothesis testing); and mechanics (kinetics, dynamics and statics). Teaching begins in September (January for 18-month courses). In the first year, you will cover the following topics: • Pure Mathematics: Proof, algebra and functions, coordinate geometry in the (x,y) plane, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation, integration, vectors • Statistics: Statistical sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability, statistical distributions, statistical hypothesis testing Student may take the AS exam at the end of the first year of the programme. The second year then builds on this foundation for the completion of the full A level. In the second year you will focus on the following topics, in greater depth: • Pure Mathematics: Proof, algebra and functions, coordinate geometry in the (x,y) plane, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation, integration, vectors • Statistics: Statistical sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability, statistical distributions, statistical hypothesis testing • Mechanics: Quantities and units in mechanics, kinematics, forces and Newton’s Laws, moments
