What the college says

1) Pure Mathematics - this develops the algebraic techniques of simplification and equation solving beyond the level of GCSE. The 2 branches of calculus are introduced - differentiation deals with ways in which continuously varying quantities change and integration studies the cumulative effect of a continuous variable. Other topics include the study of geometry, algebraic and trigonometric functions and the introduction of logarithmic and exponential functions. 2) Mechanics - this is the study of force and motion. It explores the properties of position, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, energy and the relationships between the forces acting on a stationary object. 3) Statistics is concerned with the collection, organisation, representation, analysis and interpretation of data. Topics covered are - descriptive statistics, probability, random variables, linear regression, sampling and hypothesis testing.
