Particularly strong candidates can consider Further Mathematics A Level as an addition to Mathematics A Level. Pure Maths Differential equations, polar, intrinsic and Cartesian graphing, further calculus. Integration You are a particle Physicist. How much force do you need to separate two electrons? Numerical Methods Computer games use a huge number of mathematical equations to describe the objects in the game and how they interact. These have to be solved but only to a given degree of accuracy. Imaginary/Complex Numbers How do you describe things that rotate or oscillate (Euler 1748)? What is the Mandelbrot set? Mechanics Momentum, impacts, rocket speeds, stability and conservation of energy. Gravitation What is the speed a rocket should be given to escape the earth’s gravitational pull? Relative Velocity How do you set a course to intercept a plane or ship? Harmonic Motion How do we predict high and low tides? Stability Stable or unstable is the question. Statistics Modelling, distributions and hypothesis testing. Decision Theory How do you choose between the production figures of two workers? Distributions How do we predict the number of people arriving at a supermarket?
