去年受疫情影响，ALevel/GCSE/IGCSE夏季大考均取消，原以为会影响留学人数，事实上不减反增。
2020年，牛津大学录取人数3695人，比前一年增加了约400人，是2016年以来的最高值。
自2016年起，牛津大学的本科申请人数每年上涨，2020年申请人数较2016年增长了22.2%，达到23414人，实际录取3695人。
牛津大学随着每年日益递增的申请，录取率也是逐年下降，2019/20季录取率为17%。
而众多专业中，竞争最为激烈的三大专业为：
Mathematics and Statistics，录取率5.8%
Economics and Management，录取率6.7%
Computer Science，录取率7.6%
我们今天就来说说竞争最为激烈的数学与统计（Mathematics and Statistics）专业。

入学前要掌握哪些知识点
由于A-level数学已经包含了力学、概率和统计的部分知识，步入大学后，你可能会发现一些课程的早期部分会重复A-level学过的知识点，当然也有一些部分对我们来说是全新的。不过，即使是“旧的”知识也会被重新包装，以不同的形式呈现给学生。
入学前需要掌握的知识点如下：
Polynomials and basic properties of the roots of polynomial equations.
Partial fractions.
Simultaneous equations.
Inequalities and their manipulation.
Basic properties of triangles and circles.
Equations of the parabola, ellipse and hyperbola.
Elementary properties of lines and planes in three dimensions.
Arithmetic and geometric progressions.
Product, quotient and chain rules of differentiation.
Solving simple differential equations.
Integration by parts.
Recognition of the shape of a plane curve from its equation, maxima and minima, tangents and normals.
Binomial Theorem, combinations.
Taylor series, the binomial series for non-integer exponent.
Matrices and determinants.
Induction.
Complex numbers – their algebra and geometry.
Exponential and trigonometric expansions and Euler’s relation between them.
Standard integration techniques and spotting substitutions.
