  The aim of 16-19 Mathematics has been to produce a course which, while challenging, is accessible and enjoyable to all students. The course develops ability and confidence in mathematics and its applications, together with an appreciation of how mathematical ideas help in the understanding of the world and society in which we live. This unit: * develops an understanding of work and energy through the modelling of real situations involving circular motion; * provides insight into the potential of mathematics for modelling physical phenomena; * helps foster an appreciation of the links between mathematics and the real world; * develops a basis for further study in engineering and science; * fosters an ability to model both in familiar and unfamiliar contexts within the field of mechanics.
