It is a module for new incoming students based on A-level Mathematics but done right.
Module aims
The next year cohort of students will come to the university without going through A-level exams. The aim of this module is to refresh their existing mathematical knowledge. It will be in a different style from A-levels, in a style of university level Mathematics.
Outline syllabus
This is an indicative module outline only to give an indication of the sort of topics that may be covered. Actual sessions held may differ.
Functions and polynomials. Summation and the binomial theorem. Linear equations and matrices. Trigonometric functions. Differentiation. Taylor series, the exponential and logarithm. Complex numbers. Integration.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the module, students should be able to:
Subject knowledge and understanding: a good working knowledge of A-level mathematics and certain core items from further mathematics
Cognitive skills: logical understanding of definition/theorem/proof method of doing Mathematics
International
It will be available to international students who have done other qualifications rather than A-levels
Subject specific skills
New level of understanding of the A-level mathematics and certain core items from further mathematics. Understanding of connections between different parts of mathematics. Understanding of proofs and examples.
Transferable skills
knowledge of mathematics and mathematical method
