Mathematics

Assessment

The content is split between pure mathematics and applied in a ratio of 2:1. The applied content is equally weighted between Mechanics and Statistics. Pure content includes proof, algebra and functions, coordinate geometry, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation & integration and vectors. Statistics content includes sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability, statistical distributions and hypothesis testing. Mechanics content includes quantities and units in mechanics, kinematics and forces and Newton's laws. Assessment is through three equally weighted papers, each 2 hours long with 100 marks. Calculators should be used on all three papers.
