OCR Advanced GCE in Further Mathematics (MEI)

UPDATED 20151006 11:35:40

We will be teaching MEI OCR Mathematics which will include: Core 3: Further extends knowledge about Proof, Differentiation, Integration and introduces them to Natural Logarithms, Functions, Numerical Solutions of Equations, and Functions. Core 4: concepts of Paramedic Equations, Differential Equations, Vectors, Trigonometric Identities and Equations, and the Binomial Expansion as well as Partial Fractions. Further Pure 2: further develops knowledge of Calculus, Matrices, and Complex numbers, Euler's Equation, Power Series and Hyperbolic functions. Statistics 2: Introduces the Poisson distribution which is used to model situation in which events occur randomly, independently and at a uniform average rate. Students also learn about the normal distribution, Bivariate data, as well as extending knowledge of Samples and Hypothesis Testing. Mechanics 2: This introduces students to a model for friction, Moments of Forces, and Centre of Mass. It also looks at Energy, work and powers, Frameworks, as well as Impulse and Momentum, which are concepts that are used in modelling collisions. Mechanics 3: The students will learn about the principles of Circular Motion, which allows us to calculate safe speeds for vehicles to move round a bend without skidding. The study of Elastic Strings and Springs has many applications, including the design of car suspension. Students will also learn about Columns of Revolution and Centres of Mass, Dimensions and Units, and Modelling Oscillations, which occurs naturally in many situations, such as in wave motion or a simple pendulum. Careers may include Physics, Economics, Computer Science, and Engineering. It is also highly regarded by many other courses, such as medicine, because of the analytical and logical reasoning skills learned in A-Level Mathematics.

Course information

Name: OCR Advanced GCE in Further Mathematics (MEI) Qualification title: GCE A Level in Further Mathematics (MEI) Qualification type: Assessment Core 1, Core 2, and Statistics 1 are examined at the end of Year 12. Core 1 is a Non-Calculator examination, while Core 2 and Statistics 1 are both calculator papers. Each of these papers are split into a Section A part and a Section B part. Section A tends to be short straight forward questions and Section B tends to be longer multistep questions. Each paper is an hour and a half. Core 3, Core 4 and Mechanics 1 are examined at the end of Year 13. Core 3 includes a Coursework Component comprising 20% of the module, which needs to be finished by April. Core 4 comprises of two papers. The first is an hour and a half and the second is a one hour Comprehension Paper. Mechanics 1 is an hour and a half and like the AS modules is split into a Section A and Section B part.
