Mathematics IModule Details

Rationale

This course develops students’ understanding of mathematics and mathematical processes at A-Level standard in a structured and progressive manner that promotes confidence, logical reasoning, and positive engagement with the subject. It provides essential knowledge across key areas of mathematics while emphasising coherence and progression, enabling students to recognise how different mathematical concepts are interconnected. The course establishes a strong conceptual foundation and reinforces mathematical skills required for A-Level study and for progression to undergraduate programmes in health sciences, where mathematical reasoning and quantitative competence are essential.

The aim of this course is to prepare students at A-Level standard for further study by developing the mathematical knowledge, skills, and confidence required for undergraduate health sciences programmes.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course, the student is expected to:
i. Recognise how real-world situations can be represented mathematically and demonstrate understanding of the relationship between practical problems and
standard or alternative mathematical models.
ii. Generalise mathematical ideas and construct mathematical arguments and proofs.
iii. Apply logical reasoning and identify incorrect or flawed reasoning in mathematical contexts.
iv. Use mathematics effectively as a means of communication, employing appropriate notation and terminology.
v. Explain the relevance and application of mathematics to other fields of study, the workplace, and society in general, with particular reference to health sciences.
