13MFC - Further Mathematics - 9231 A2 Level
13MFC Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr S. Buckley.
Recommended Prior Learning| Prerequisites: | Students in Year 13 who have already completed A level Mathematics and obtained a grade A or A* and who are likely to be taking mathematics papers at university as part of a degree course. |
13 Mathematics - Further - 9231 A2 Level
| Course Statement: | This course will be teacher-led but requires a great deal of self-motivation to get through the enormous workload. There is a lot of satisfaction and sense of achievement for all students who approach the course with the correct attitude. Students will be entered for either AS or A Level Further Mathematics for assessment at the end of the year: A Level candidates will sit Paper 1, Paper 2, Paper 3 and Paper 4. AS candidates will sit Paper 1 and either Paper 3 or Paper 4. All students are also expected to take part in additional Mathematics competitions: Australian Maths Competition and Eton Senior Maths This subject is equivalent to a subject on the ‘approved list’ for University Entrance. |
| Topics Covered: | The course will cover more advanced aspects of mathematics: FURTHER PURE MATHEMATICS (Papers 1 and 2):including polynomials and rational functions, polar co-ordinates, summation of series, proof by induction, differentiation, integration, differential equations, complex numbers, matrices, vectors and hyperbolic functions. FURTHER MECHANICS (Paper 3):Newton’s laws of motion, projectile motion, momentum and impulse, circular motion, equilibrium of rigid bodies, momentum, Hooke’s Law and linear motion under a variable force. FURTHER STATISTICS (Paper 4): Continuous random variables ,inference using the Normal and t-distributions and chi-squared tests, non-parametric tests, probability generating functions. |
