These AS and A-level courses are designed for those who wish to extend the Maths they learnt at school and-or progress to Higher Education in areas such as Science, Engineering, Computing, Accountancy, Economics, Finance and Maths. These are modular courses consisting of six modules. Students who are successful at completing the first three modules will be awarded an AS level qualification. When you successfully complete six modules you will be awarded the full A Level. You will study three modules per year starting with two modules of Pure Maths plus one module of either Pure Maths or Statistics or Decision Maths with the same pattern repeated in Year 2. It is possible to achieve A-AS level Further Mathematics by studying a further six modules including three further modules of Pure Maths plus two modules of Mechanics and one module of statistics or decision Maths. Assessment is by examination - one for each module. These take place in January and June. You are allowed to re-sit modules in order to improve your grade. Pure Maths topics include- Algebra, Functions, Co-ordinate geometry, Sequences and series, Trigonometry, Differentiation , Integration, Exponentials, Logarithms, Complex numbers, Vectors, Matrices and transformations Mechanics topics include- Vectors, Forces, Newton's laws of motion, Connected particles, Moments, Centres of mass, Projectiles, Kinematics, Circular motion, Work, energy and power. Decision Maths topics include- Algorithms, Graphs and Networks, Spanning Tree Problems, Shortest Paths in Network, Travelling Salesperson Problem, and Linear Programming. Statistics topics include- Confidence intervals, Probability, Probability distributions, Correlation and regression, Hypothesis testing.
