At the time of writing information regarding the final subject content of each course, although submitted in draft form, has yet to be confirmed. It is however clear that the favoured assessment model is based on the following structure: • A Level Mathematics: 3 written papers covering core mathematics, mechanics, and statistics. • A Level Further Mathematics: 3 written papers with 2 exams covering core mathematics and further pure mathematics, with the third potentially being made up of options out of combinations of mechanics, statistics and decision mathematics. Subject content specifics for all four course options are also currently being submitted for approval and are therefore also subject to change. However a summary of the proposed content is as follows: • Core Mathematics: elements from Calculus, Algebra and Functions, Trigonometry, Sequences and Series. • Further Pure Mathematics: elements from Further Calculus, Hyperbolic functions, Differential equations, Vectors, Matrices and Polar Coordinates. • Mechanics: elements from Kinematics, Forces and Newton’s laws, Moments, Work / Energy & Power and Centres of Mass. • Statistics: elements from Statistical Sampling, Data Presentation, Probability and Hypothesis testing. • Decision Maths: elements from Network Flows, Linear Programming, Critical Path Analysis and Game Theory for zero-sum games.
