Mathematics

Assessment

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.
