Training Course Content
What you'll learn
The course includes four units of pure maths and then your study will include the following:
- Unit 1: core 1 algebra and functions – coordinate geometry in the (xy) plane sequences and series, differentiation integration
- Unit 2: core 2 algebra and functions – coordinate geometry in the (xy) plane sequences and series, trigonometry exponentials and logarithms, differentiation integration
- Unit 3: statistics 1 or mechanics 1. mathematical models in either probability and statistics or in mechanics. The course is modular and students will study two modules consisting of pure mathematics, and either mechanics or statistics, per year
- Unit 4: core 3 algebra and functions, trigonometry exponentials and logarithms, differentiation, numerical methods
- Unit 5: core 4 algebra and functions – coordinate geometry in the (xy) plane sequences and series differentiation integration vectors
- Unit 6: statistics 1, statistics 2, mechanics 1 or mechanics 2
