CCEA Level 3 Advanced GCE Mathematics (603/1717/6)
Day of week: Tuesday
Times: 18:00 - 20:30
Overview
The CCEA GCE Mathematics specification encourages students to extend their range of mathematical skills and techniques. They use their mathematical knowledge to reason logically and recognise incorrect reasoning.
Students draw diagrams and sketch graphs to help explore mathematical situations and interpret solutions.
Students investigate algebra and functions, geometry, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation and vectors. They also examine quantities and units in mechanics, kinematics, forces and Newton’s laws, statistical sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability and statistical distributions.
Studying mathematics develops students’ analytical, research and problem-solving skills. It provides a firm foundation for scientific, technical, engineering and mathematical careers. It gives students the knowledge and logic they need to solve scientific, mechanical and coding problems.
This specification is available at two levels: AS and A2. Students can take the AS units plus the A2 units for a full GCE A level qualification. They can also choose to take the AS course as a stand-alone qualification.
The specification has four units:
- Unit AS 1: Pure Mathematics
- Unit AS 2: Applied Mathematics
- Unit A2 1: Pure Mathematics
- Unit A2 2: Applied Mathematics.
