• During the first year students study three modules to fulfil the AS qualification, whilst being useful in other areas of the UTC curriculum. Currently these modules are FP1, D1 and S2. • In the second A2 year, there are a variety of options, depending on the backgrounds of the students involved. This must include FP2, plus two other modules. Autumn term: • Decision 1(module 4771):Algorithms, Graph Theory, Network Algorithms: Prim; Kreskas; Dijkstra; Linear Programming, Critical Path Analysis and Simulation • In addition some topics from Further Pure 1 (FP1) (module 4755) will be covered: Introduction to Matrices and Complex Numbers, using matrices to solve simultaneous equations and transformation problems. Spring term: • Unit FP1 is completed: Sequence and Series, proof by induction, relationships between roots of equations, rational inequalities, graphs of rational functions • And then Statistics 2(module 4767): Continuous Random Variables, the Normal Distribution, the Poisson Distribution, Sampling and Hypothesis Testing, Correlation and Regression, Contingency Tables. Summer term: • Prior to the exams, any small remaining parts of the course are completed, and then a period of revision is carried out. • After the exams are completed, a selection of topics from the A2 units are studied, ready for the next year.
