摘要
数学入学考试MAT是英国重要的数学英才选拔考试,是牛津等大学数学、计算机及相关专业的入学条件之一,数学知识与方法相当于A水平核心数学C1和C2模块水平,但问题设计却不同,重在考查考生理解A水平数学的深度而非广度.MAT的命题特征是:控制运算量,解题思维多样;分层递进设计,考查数学探究能力;构建新情境,渗透数学建模思想,考核信息加工能力;因循专业所需,甄别不同数学能力.
The Mathematics Aptitude Test (MAT) is one of the British mathematical talent recruitment examination, it also is a pre-interview test for applicants to the University of Oxford's undergraduate courses in Mathematics, Computer Science and their joint schools. The mathematical knowledge and techniques required to do the questions are taken from a syllabus roughly corresponding to the C1 and C2 modules from A-level maths, though the questions are set more variously than A-level questions. It aims to test the depth of mathematical understanding of a student in the fourth term of their A-levels (or equivalent) rather than a breadth of knowledge. TMA's propositions is characterized by: reducing the calculation cost, a variety of methods to solve problems; designing items in layered and progressively, to test applicant's mathematical inquiry ability; building the new situation and penetrating mathematical modeling thought, to estimate applicant's information processing ability; according to the professional, to distinguish the different mathematical ability of applicants.
