What the college says

This course is for students who have a passion for mathematics. The subject is very demanding and is a challenging qualification but is potentially very satisfying, as well as being an extremely worthwhile qualification for any potential engineer, scientist or anyone thinking of pursuing a mathematics, physics or a computer engineering course at university. This specification emphasises the importance of a common core of mathematics which broadens knowledge of Pure Mathematics. It works in tandem with core mathematics and therefore sound understanding of the topics contained therein is essential. Topics include Complex Numbers, Matrix Algebra, Co-ordinate Systems, Differentiation and Integration. This is particularly for students who are genuinely interested in furthering their knowledge of the subject. By the end of the course students will have taken their mathematical aptitude to a higher level and developed further logical, numerical and problem-solving skills.
