Course Outline

AS Level
This is a one year course that covers two modules.

P1 – Pure 1, compulsory
Topics: Algebra, Simultaneous Equations, Surds and Indices, Quadratics, Functions, Coordinate Geometry,
Circular Measure, Trigonometry, Vectors, Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences, Binomial Theorem, Differ-
entiation and Integration. More than half of the Pure 1 course is Algebra or Algebra related, as a result it is
recommended that pupils are strong and fairly confident with Algebra.

M1 – Mechanics 1
Forces and Equilibrium, Kinematics of Motion in a Straight Line, Newton’s Laws of Motion and Energy,
Work and Power.

S1 – Statistics 1
Representation of Data, Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Discrete Random Variables, Probabili-
ty Distribution, Binomial Distribution, Normal Distribution and the Geometric Distribution.

P2 - Pure 2
Factor and Remainder Theorem, Modules Functions, Trigonometric Formulae and Equations, Product Rule
and Quotient Rule

A2 Level
This is a one year course that covers two modules.

P3 – Compulsory
Algebra, Logarithmic and Exponential Functions, Trigonometry, Differentiation, Integration, Numerical
Solution of Equations, Vectors, Differential Equations and Complex Numbers.

M1 or S1 or S2
For S2 it is required to have taken S1.
S2 involves Hypothesis Testing using Binominal and Normal Distributions. In addition, the Poisson distribu-
tion, sampling and Liner Combinations of random variables is included.
