During the year that students study for an AS-Level in Maths, they will be required to cover the following topic areas in NUMERICAL METHODS:
- (not covered in AS-Level Maths)
These topic areas will be tested in the Pure Mathematics paper – Paper 1.
Numerical Methods in A-Level Maths (from Sep 2017):
In addition to the above, students studying for an A-Level in Maths will also be required to study the following areas in NUMERICAL METHODS:
- approximate location of roots
- iterative methods
- Newton-Raphson method
- numerical integration
- problems in context
This is done over 2 years and these additional topic areas will be tested in Pure Mathematics Paper 2.
