What the college says

What will I study? This course is designed to give a broad mathematical education at A Level by building on the skills and knowledge gained at GCSE through individual modules. The actual content of the course includes GCSE content stretched to more difficult situations, and completely new topics. For example, the ‘Pure’ aspect of the course develops students’ algebraic skills in quadratic functions, sequences and series and graph sketching, as well as introducing new techniques such as calculus. Students will also study statistics and mechanics giving them a broad base for many subjects at university or in employment. The course aims to make rounded mathematicians who are able to solve real life problems with their broad skill set. In Years 12 and 13 there is an opportunity to study Further Mathematics for those students who wish to become more involved in Mathematics, Engineering, Physics or Finance. Please note Further Mathematics at A Level will only be offered if enough students select this course and are deemed mathematically capable. The A Level Mathematics course provide students with enjoyment, interest and intellectual stimulation and enable them to develop an appreciation of how mathematical ideas help in interpreting the world in which they live, extend their mathematical knowledge and skills and help them acquire strategies for the solution of extended problems.
