Welcome to Maths at Thomas Rotherham College
Congratulations for thinking about mathematics at TRC! Maths is a well-respected subject by universities and employers alike. It also gives you the potential to earn more money in later life. Statistics have shown that A Level Maths and Further Maths were two of the top three subjects that increased how much students were earning 6 years after completing their A levels.
What skills do I need to study Maths at TRC? You need to have a good work ethic and strong algebra skills. Algebra is the foundation of A Level and so we are going to suggest some algebra practise that you might do between now and starting a maths course at TRC in order to give you the best start possible.
What will I study? In the first year Pure Maths Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus amongst others Statistics Hypothesis Testing, Binomial Distribution, Venn Diagrams and Sampling amongst others In the second year Pure Maths Differential Equations, Parametric Equations, Functions Mechanics Forces, Vectors, Moments Statistics - More Hypothesis Testing, Normal Distribution and Probability.
Graphical Calculator Amazon Link to Calculator We use the CASIO graphical calculator. We have found that students do much better in exams if they have one of these calculators to help. They draw graphs, solve equations and are just generally very clever. Please don t buy one before you come to college. We buy in bulk and sell them at cost. We don t pay VAT so we get a really good deal. We are considerably cheaper even than Amazon! Bursaries are available to buy the calculator for students that require help with the cost.
Support Maths is a very rewarding subject but it is not always the easiest. We would like you to have been predicted at least a 6 by your school but a 7 would be even better if you want to get one of the top grades. We offer lots of support sessions at TRC to help you. There is a 20 min weekly support session for each class with their teacher as part of the timetable but we also offer longer departmental support sessions to help you achieve your full potential.
Any Questions? If you have any questions then please email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. My email address is ruth.faulkner@thomroth.ac.uk. If you are thinking about studying maths at university or a maths related degree then you should consider looking at A Level Further Maths and reading the course overview for that too. We hope to see lots of you doing maths at TRC in Sept!
