1 6. CONCEPTS FOR ADVANCED MATHEMATICS, C (475) AS Objectives To introduce students to number of topics which re fundmentl to the dvnced study of mthemtics. Assessment Emintion (7 mrks) 1 hour 30 minutes. The emintion pper hs two sections. Section A: Section B: 8-10 questions, ech worth no more thn 5 mrks. Section Totl: 36 mrks three questions, ech worth bout 1 mrks. Section Totl: 36 mrks Assumed Knowledge Cndidtes re epected to know the content of Intermedite Tier GCSE* nd C1. *See note on pge 34. Subject Criteri The Units C1 nd C re required for Advnced Subsidiry GCE Mthemtics in order to ensure coverge of the subject criteri. The Units C1, C, C3 nd C4 re required for Advnced GCE Mthemtics in order to ensure coverge of the subject criteri. Clcultors In the MEI Structured Mthemtics specifiction, no clcultor is llowed in the emintion for C1. For ll other units, including this one, grphicl clcultor is llowed.
