This is a course designed for students who enjoy mathematics and are particularly good at the subject. You may need to study mathematics beyond the normal AS or A2 courses because you wish to specialise in mathematics at university or work in particular areas like physics or engineering. Specific entry requirements: must also take AS or A2 Mathematics and have achieved an A grade, but preferably an A* grade at higher level GCSE Mathematics What will I learn? AS Units Further Pure 1 - is an introductory module which includes algebra, geometry, matrices and calculus. Decision 1 and 2 - gives insights into the problems met and solved in project management in industry and commerce. A2 Units - three from: Further Pure 2 - covers De Moivre's Theorem, proof by induction and further work on complex numbers. Further Pure 3 - covers differential equations and polar co-ordinates. Further Pure 4 - involves the study of matrix algebra, transformations and 3-Dimensional geometry. Mechanics 2B - continues the study of Newton's Laws of Motion, introducing concepts of moments, centre of gravity, energy and power, applying some of the mathematics taught in Core 1 to Core 3. Statistics 2B - continues the study of probability and statistics met in Statistics 1 of the Mathematics A2 course, including the normal distributions and hypothesis testing.
