What You Will Learn:
You will study a total of 6 modules in Mathematics.
Pure Mathematics 1:
- Build core skills in algebra, quadratic functions, and basic calculus. Solve geometric problems using trigonometry (sine/cosine rules) and calculate areas under curves.
Pure Mathematics 2:
- Develop proof-writing techniques (contradiction, counterexamples). Explore sequences, series, and exponential growth. Apply differentiation to curve sketching and integration to volume calculations.
Pure Mathematics 3:
- Master inverse trigonometric functions, implicit differentiation, and integration by substitution. Use numerical methods (Newton-Raphson) to approximate solutions.
Pure Mathematics 4:
- Tackle advanced topics like parametric integration, partial fractions, and vector geometry. Solve first-order differential equations and analyse 3D vector relationships.
Statistics 1:
- Analyse data using histograms, box plots, and correlation coefficients. Calculate probabilities for discrete/continuous distributions and perform chi-squared goodness-of-fit tests.
Mechanics 1:
- Model motion using SUVAT equations, resolve forces on inclined planes, and apply momentum principles to collisions. Calculate moments to analyse equilibrium in structures.
Throughout the course, students refine their ability to construct logical arguments, communicate solutions clearly. Regular practice with exam-style questions hones time management and precision, while real-world applications—such as analysing population trends or optimising design parameters—bridge theory with practical relevance.
