Mechanics 1 Or Statistics 1 |
A unit concentrating on the application of mathematics to forces and motion of objects in the real world, with sections on Modelling, Motion in one and two dimensions, Statics, Momentum, Newton’s Laws of Motion, Connected Particles and Projectiles. (All Double Mathematicians take this option in the first year of their course). At GCSE you will have covered probability, as well as, several methods of presenting and working with data. In this unit you will combine these two topics by studying the new idea of a probability distribution. You will learn about the Binomial and Normal distributions. We also study relationships between measurements by looking at correlation and regression. |
