Mathematics

Course description

How do mathematicians solve complex problems, predict trends and help shape the modern world? A Level Mathematics develops your understanding of mathematical concepts while building the logical and analytical skills that are valued by universities and employers alike.


Throughout the course, you'll explore a range of topics including algebra, calculus, statistics and mechanics. You'll learn how to apply mathematical techniques to real-world situations, analyse data and solve challenging problems. As well as developing confidence with numbers, you'll strengthen your ability to think logically, reason clearly and approach problems systematically.


A Level Mathematics is an excellent choice if you enjoy problem-solving and want to develop skills that can be applied across many different subjects and careers. It combines particularly well with Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics and Geography.


Ideal for students who are:

  • Enjoy solving mathematical problems
  • Curious about how maths is used in everyday life
  • Interested in science, technology, finance or engineering
  • Keen to develop their analytical and reasoning skills

Pure : Trigonometry, Calculus, Circles, Binomial expansion, Polynomials, Coordinate geometry and advanced algebra.

Mechanics: Forces, Projectiles, Calculus in Mechanics, Moments and Constant Acceleration including the use of Vectors.

Statistics: statistical distributions and Hypothesis testing, Probability, Measure of spread, Product moment correlation, Data presentation and Interpretation.

What you'll gain:

  • Advanced mathematical knowledge and techniques
  • Strong logical, analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Confidence in interpreting and working with data
  • Excellent preparation for university, apprenticeships and a wide range of careers

 

 

A Level Maths is highly valued for progression into degrees and careers in Engineering, Finance, Data Science, Economics, Computing, Architecture and many other fields.

Examination: 3 x 2 hour papers at the end of the course
