Suitable For

Suitable for those who wish to gain further knowledge in this subject.

Course Content

Year one: Typical module content:

• Further Concepts for Advanced Mathematics: (FP1)introduces topics and techniques needed for more advanced study, including complex numbers, proof, curve sketching and matrices.
• Statistics 1, (S1) as shown in AS Mathematics
• Statistics 2, (S2) Builds on S1, concentrating on the Poisson Normal, on Chi Square distributions and Bivariate data. Year two:
• Further Methods for Advanced Mathematics(FP2) Builds on the work of FP1, extending the work on matrices and complex numbers and introducing polar co - ordinates and hyperbolic functions.
• Mechanics 2, (M2)develops the ideas from Mechanics 1 to include Friction, Moments, Impulse & Momentum, Work, Energy and Power
• Numerical Methods, (NM)are employed to allow students to solve a wide range of problems, which would otherwise be outside of their mathematical understanding.

Assessment Method

All modules have a 1_ hour examination. NM and C3 also have coursework. C4 has a comprehension paper.
