Overview
This scheme provides a complete route of progression through the various strands of mathematics, from AS Level, through to the first year of university work. The following qualifications are available as part of this specification:
- AS/Advanced GCE in Mathematics (MEI) (3895/7895)
- AS/Advanced GCE in Further Mathematics (MEI) (3896/7896 3897/7897)
- AS/Advanced GCE in Pure Mathematics (MEI) (3898/7898)
Candidates who take one of the three suitable combinations of three AS units are eligible for certification in AS Mathematics. Candidates who take one of seven suitable combinations are eligible for certification in Advanced GCE Mathematics. Advanced GCE Further Mathematics is available for those who take 12 units, and Further Mathematics (Additional) is also available at both AS and Advanced GCE for those who take 15 or 18 units.
Two units, Numerical Computation and Decision Computation, are assessed through computer-based examinations. Three units, Core 3, Numerical Methods and Differential Equations each have a coursework component.
This specification is accompanied by a new edition of the Structured Mathematics textbooks, published by Hodder Murray. The MEI website has extensive on-line materials to support this specification, including coursework resources.
