This ensures that students are exposed to Core/Pure material throughout the year. The structure of the first year for each teacher will be as follows: (provisional and subject to change) We have not yet decided on exact combinations of options for Further Mathematicians in Year 13, but this will likely feature combinations of FP1, Further Statistics and Further Mechanics (although FP2 and Further Advanced Mechanics may be thrown in the mix depending on number of classes and student demand).įor both Single Maths and Further Maths, there will be two teachers teaching each Year 12 A Level class.
#ADVANCED LEVEL PURE MATHEMATICS FULL#
For Further Maths, we will be doing the full normal maths A Level within the first year, thus covering Pure 1, Pure 2 and Statistics/Mechanics. My school will be using Edexcel, and we already have copies of the Pearson textbooks for each student. My school will not be doing the AS, and thus all papers are taken at the end of Year 13. For those doing single Mathematics, across the two years, students will have three exam papers: Pure Mathematics 1, Pure Mathematics 2 and Statistics & Mechanics.
What is your school doing for the new A Level?Īs you are likely aware, from September 2017, all exam boards will be adopting the new A Level for Maths and Further Mathematics.
There is a good deal of freedom here, but a random selection of courses may not satisfy this requirement. The four elective courses must be chosen in consultation with an advisor to provide a cohesive program that explores an area of mathematics in some depth. Math 216 is not intended for Mathematics majors, who generally take Math 316 (Differential Equations) after completing Math 217. More advanced students, such as those who have completed Math 396, may substitute higher lever courses with the approval of an advisor.įollowing Math 215 all students intending to major in Pure Mathematics should elect Math 217 (Linear Algebra) rather than Math 216 (Introduction to Differential Equations). Differential Equations: Math 286 or 316.The basic courses consist of one from each of the following groups completed with a grade of at least C. The major program must include at least nine courses: four basic courses (II.), four elective courses (III.), and one cognate course (IV.) as described below. Fortran, C, or C++) at a level equivalent to the completion of EECS 183. Note that Math 216 is not intended for Mathematics majors.Īll Pure Mathematics majors are also strongly encouraged to take Physics 140-141 and 240-241 and to acquire a working knowledge of a high-level computer language ( e.g. The prerequisite to major in Pure Mathematics is one of the sequences 215 & 217, or 295 & 296. The Pure Mathematics Program is designed to provide broad training in basic modern mathematics including an introduction to the methods of rigorous mathematical proof and exposure to the major branches of mathematics: Algebra, Analysis, and Geometry/Topology.
