Study day 1 focuses on curve sketching and coordinate geometry.
Study day 2 focuses on calculus, surds, indices and logarithms.
Between study days 2 and 3, students will attempt three summer worksheet activities: one on curve sketching, one on geometry and one on logarithms and indices.
Study day 3 focuses on trigonometry, combinatorics, and sequences and functions.
he fee for this course is £60. A limited number of free places are available if you have trouble meeting the cost of the course. Please indicate this on the application form.
