The aim of these courses is to enable students to develop their understanding of mathematical processes in a positive way, fostering confidence and enjoyment in the application of mathematics. Students will develop the skills to enable real world situations, such as understanding and using technology, computers and calculators, to be represented as mathematical models. Mathematics is then an effective means of communication and essential and relevant to many other fields of study, to the world of work and to society in general.
The basic requirement for starting this course would normally be at least a grade 5 at GCSE (with all the material in the Higher Tier covered)
Students study three areas of Mathematics of which one must be Pure and two Applied, choosing from Mechanics, Statistics and Discrete Mathematics. Students are assessed through three papers, each 2 hours long. Two papers are entirely Pure Mathematics, and the third is Applied Mathematics.
