Mathematics Course Curriculum

9 modules across 3 levels.

Intermediate

Intermediate Mathematics

Start with Number & algebra, Functions & graphs and Geometry & trigonometry. Each module explains the idea, shows a worked example and ends with a short project, so Mathematics becomes something you can do rather than something you have only read about.

Glossary

Number & algebra

A central idea in the intermediate Mathematics path, covered in the module of the same name.

Example: apply Number & algebra to a small, familiar case step by step, then check your reasoning against the walkthrough.

Functions & graphs

About the Mathematics curriculum

The Mathematics curriculum is a complete, self-paced course in science, organised into 3 progressive levels and 9 modules. It opens with Foundations of Number & algebra and Core methods in Functions & graphs, moves through Applying Geometry & trigonometry and finishes with expert-level work on Leading practice in Proof & reasoning and Mastering Mathematical modelling.

Across the whole path you work through 27 individual topics — from Number & algebra and Putting number & algebra to work at the start to Putting mathematical modelling to work and Checking your understanding of mathematical modelling by the end. The levels are estimated at 6 weeks · about 24 hours, 8 weeks · about 32 hours and 10 weeks · about 40 hours. Each level assumes the one before it, so you can work straight through from Intermediate to Expert, or start at the level that matches what you already know.

It suits students, technicians and curious readers building a rigorous foundation in the subject. Concepts are tied to observation and method, so each level asks you to explain a real phenomenon and check your explanation against the evidence.

Every module pairs a written summary with a worked example, a short quiz to check the idea landed, and a project brief drawn from real practice. You are never asked to take a concept on trust: the reasoning, the common mistakes and the situations where the approach stops working are all laid out, so you finish a module able to explain the idea rather than only recognise it.

What you’ll be able to do

By the end of the Mathematics path you should be able to work confidently with:

Number & algebra

Putting number & algebra to work

Checking your understanding of number & algebra

Functions & graphs

Hands-on: functions & graphs

Checking your understanding of functions & graphs

Geometry & trigonometry

Putting geometry & trigonometry to work

How the Mathematics curriculum is structured

Intermediate 6 weeks · about 24 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Intermediate Mathematics

Start with Number & algebra, Functions & graphs and Geometry & trigonometry. Each module explains the idea, shows a worked example and ends with a short project, so Mathematics becomes something you can do rather than something you have only read about.

Modules: Foundations of Number & algebra · Core methods in Functions & graphs · Applying Geometry & trigonometry

  • Number & algebra: Number & algebra is where many Mathematics learners first get stuck, so the module slows down, isolates the difficult step and rebuilds it with you.
  • Putting number & algebra to work: This module treats Number & algebra as a tool: the question it answers, what it assumes, and what a correct use of it looks like in Mathematics.
  • Checking your understanding of number & algebra: Number & algebra is where many Mathematics learners first get stuck, so the module slows down, isolates the difficult step and rebuilds it with you.

Project: Write a one-page explanation of Number & algebra in your own words, with an example you chose yourself, and test it against the module checklist.

Advanced 8 weeks · about 32 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Advanced Mathematics

Build on the intermediate level through Sequences & series, Probability and Calculus foundations. The emphasis shifts from knowing the ideas to choosing between them — trade-offs, failure modes and the reasoning behind each decision.

Modules: In depth Sequences & series · Patterns and trade-offs in Probability · Scaling Calculus foundations

  • Sequences & series: The module examines Sequences & series closely, including the assumptions beneath it and what changes when those assumptions stop holding.
  • Hands-on: sequences & series: Here Sequences & series becomes a design decision. You compare alternatives, justify a choice and test it against a harder problem.
  • Checking your understanding of sequences & series: The module examines Sequences & series closely, including the assumptions beneath it and what changes when those assumptions stop holding.

Project: Produce a short case analysis in which Sequences & series drives the recommendation, including the alternatives you rejected and why.

Expert 10 weeks · about 40 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Expert Mathematics

Work at the edge of Mathematics through Vectors & matrices, Proof & reasoning and Mathematical modelling. The modules assume fluency and ask for judgement: designing, critiquing and defending work at a professional standard.

Modules: Frontiers of Vectors & matrices · Leading practice in Proof & reasoning · Mastering Mathematical modelling

  • Vectors & matrices: This module asks you to critique and extend Vectors & matrices rather than simply apply it, producing work another expert could review.
  • Putting vectors & matrices to work: At expert level Vectors & matrices is treated as a field of judgement: current practice, contested positions and the evidence behind each.
  • Checking your understanding of vectors & matrices: This module asks you to critique and extend Vectors & matrices rather than simply apply it, producing work another expert could review.

Project: Write a professional-standard brief on Vectors & matrices — argument, evidence, limitations — plus a plan for taking the work further.

How to study Mathematics, phase by phase

  1. 1

    Phase 1 — Intermediate

    Set aside around 6 weeks · about 24 hours. Work through 3 modules, starting with Foundations of Number & algebra and Core methods in Functions & graphs. Finish the phase by completing the project brief: Write a one-page explanation of Number & algebra in your own words, with an example you chose yourself, and test it against the module checklist.

  2. 2

    Phase 2 — Advanced

    Set aside around 8 weeks · about 32 hours. Work through 3 modules, starting with In depth Sequences & series and Patterns and trade-offs in Probability. Finish the phase by completing the project brief: Produce a short case analysis in which Sequences & series drives the recommendation, including the alternatives you rejected and why.

  3. 3

    Phase 3 — Expert

    Set aside around 10 weeks · about 40 hours. Work through 3 modules, starting with Frontiers of Vectors & matrices and Leading practice in Proof & reasoning. Finish the phase by completing the project brief: Write a professional-standard brief on Vectors & matrices — argument, evidence, limitations — plus a plan for taking the work further.

  4. 4

    Phase 4 — Consolidate

    Return to the sections that felt weakest, redo their quizzes from memory, and rebuild the Write a one-page explanation of Number & algebra in your own words, with an example you chose yourself, and test it against the module checklist. without following along. Explaining Mathematics to someone else in plain language is the clearest signal that the Expert level has landed.

Once you have finished, the Mathematics path is a reasonable foundation for research, laboratory and field science roles. Because the curriculum is generated and kept as a structured outline rather than fixed videos, you can revisit any module, regenerate the outline at a different depth, or save it to your library and work through it over weeks rather than in one sitting.
