The subject content is divided into three areas: pure mathematics, statistics and mechanics. Pure Mathematics: • proof • algebra and functions • coordinate geometry in the x-y plane • sequences and series • trigonometry • exponentials and logarithms • differentiation • integration • numerical methods • 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 The overarching themes below are applied, along with associated mathematical thinking and understanding, across the whole of the content in the specification: 1. mathematical argument, language and proof 2. mathematical problem solving 3. mathematical modelling
Candidates sit GL Assessments CAT4. In addition, pupils are expected to achieve 40 or more GCSE points. International pupils should have IELTS at 6.0 or equivalent. Most heads of department recommend at least a grade 7 at GCSE for subjects relevant to sixth form study.
