SMP 16-19: modelling with force and motion
The aim of 16-19 Mathematics has been to produce a course which, while chaallenging, 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.
The unit: helps develop an ability to use the concepts introduced in Newton's laws of motion to study projectiles, forces, circular motion at constant speed, and statics of rigid bodies; 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.
