A level Mathematics builds upon the GCSE studies in this subject and students study Core (Pure) Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics. Core Mathematics will enable students to develop their ability to use mathematical facts, concepts and techniques in a variety of contexts, particularly through the use of calculus and algebra. Mechanics and Statistics will enable students to apply core mathematical techniques to real-world situations. Mathematics suits those who enjoy working with numbers, working to a defined set of rules, using precise statements and making logical deductions. Mathematics combines well with a variety of other A-level subjects through reinforcing work in scientific subjects and providing a useful background and discipline for many arts-based subjects.
To be eligible for the MPW University Foundation Programme you must: • Be aged 17+ at the start of the programme* • Entry requirements: Successful completion of local high school (either 11 or 12-year system) with good grades • Meet our English entry requirements • January 2 term programme 5.5 IELTS or equivalent (with no less than 5.0 in any single band) – Pearson PTE (42-49), TOEFL iBT (46-59) or Cambridge (162) also accepted. • September 3 term programme 5.0 IELTS or equivalent (with no less than 4.5 in any single band) – Pearson PTE (36-41), TOEFL iBT (35-45) or Cambridge (154) also accepted.
The course is taught systematically with much interactive discussion in our small tutorial groups. Regular homework, Timed Assignments and practice examination questions are all analysed in detail in tutorials so that students become familiar with the application of all the mathematical concepts involved and hence gain a thorough understanding of the course material. A Level Specification – Edexcel 9MA0 Paper 1: Pure Mathematics 1 (Paper Code 9MA0/01) Paper 2: Pure Mathematics 2 (Paper Code 9MA0/02) Proof, algebra and functions, coordinate geometry in the (x,y) plane, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation, integration, numerical methods, and vectors. Paper 3: Statistics and Mechanics (Paper Code 9MA0/03) Statistical sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability, statistical distributions, statistical hypothesis testing, quantities and units in mechanics, kinematics, forces and Newton’s laws, and moments. Each paper forms 33.33% of the final qualification and will consist of a 2-hour paper with a total mark of 100. Students must answer all questions and calculators can be used in this assessment. Paper 1 and Paper 2 may contain questions on any topics from the Pure Mathematics content.
