Differentiation and Curves

ONLINE Oxbridge Preparation Weekend for Years 11 to 13

3-4 April 2021

 

In this camp we will focus on differentiation and curves. Preparation, confidence building and understanding the process are among the key elements of success in applying to Oxbridge and our courses are designed to optimise pupils chances of gaining a place.

Very difficult topics in the A-Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics curricula are implicit differentiation, curves and polar curves. We will practice these topics and use Geogebra software to draw beautiful curves, create animations and reveal the properties of some famous curves such as the nephroid, cardioid, astroid and lemniscate.

The hours of the camp on Saturday and Sunday are 10.00 to 12.45 and 13.45 to 16.30, the fee is £300. Participants study in small groups according to age and experience.

Places are limited, please register your interest HERE.
