What the college says
A Level Mathematics (Edexcel) is a fascinating subject to study. The course deals with developing logic and problem-solving skills that can be applied in a wide range of areas. Studying the course will develop your fluency in key mathematical topics and teach you how to construct an organised and logical argument. Whilst the course covers and extends many of the GCSE topics, such as algebra and geometry, it also quickly moves on to new topics where we introduce you to calculus, exponential functions and logarithms. Alongside the pure mathematics topics, we also learn about applications of maths through the study of statistics and mechanics. Maths helps to support the study of subjects including physics, chemistry, engineering, IT, economics, business, psychology and biology.
