Description

The aim of this course is to:

  • Prepare students for further studies in Mathematics and related subjects.
  • Extend the students’ range of mathematical techniques so as to apply them in more difficult and unstructured problems.
  • Develop in students the ability to read and understand a wider range of mathematical articles and arguments.
  • Enable students to formulate a mathematical representation of a real life situation.
  • Use appropriate technology such as computers and calculators as a mathematical tool.
  • Encourage confidence, enjoyment and satisfaction through the development and use of Mathematics.

The Pure Mathematics Advanced Examination is made up of two papers.  The content includes:

  • Polynomials, rational functions, the factor and remainder theorems.
  • Arithmetic series, finite and infinite geometric series
  • Simple counting problems involving permutations and combinations.
  • Plane Cartesian coordinates. Simple curve sketching.
  • Functions.
  • Complex numbers.
  • The derivative as a limit.
  • Integration as the limit of a sum and as the inverse of differentiation.
  • First order differential equations with separable variables.
  • Vectors in two and three dimensions.
  • The algebra of matrices.
  • Summation of simple finite series.
  • Method of induction.
  • The exponential form of a complex number.
  • Definition and properties of the vector product.
  • Further integration.
  • Polar coordinates
  • Elementary matrix
  • Numerical methods
