Summary: The Mathematics course includes core (pure) mathematics plus statistics and/or mechanics. Course description: Core mathematics extends your knowledge of topics such as algebra, trigonometry and geometry as well as learning some new ideas such as calculus. These ideas are interesting in their own right, but they also serve as a foundation for other work you will do. In statistics, you will learn how to analyse and summarise numerical data to arrive at conclusions and predictions about it. Mechanics describes mathematically the motion of objects and how they respond to forces acting on them. Many of the ideas studied here form an introduction to modern fields of study such as robotics and biomechanics, as well as the more traditional ones of engineering and physics. Mathematics students enter the UK Maths Challenge and visit the Maths at UEA Open Day. You will also be able to attend Maths Inspiration talks by mathematicians or professionals working within mathematics; recent talks include 'The Mathematics of Juggling' and 'Maths and Roller Coasters'. We can also help to arrange work-experience days with high profile companies that use mathematics. Mathematics can be challenging at this level. To succeed, you will need to be able to think clearly and logically and, just as importantly, to persevere when you can't immediately see the solution to a problem. If you are intending on studying Mathematics or another maths-rich degree at university, we strongly recommend you combine a Mathematics A Level with a Further Mathematics A Level to give a deeper insight into the subject. Mathematics can be taken with any other subjects, but students often choose; Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, Business Studies or Geography.
