EDEXCEL Mathematics A Level
at Woodcote High School, Coulsdon · school or sixth form
What the college says
At A Levels, students will study both Pure and Applied Mathematics. Pure Mathematics develops the ideas introduced at GCSE, such as Algebra, Graphs and Trigonometry. The Applied Mathematics content is drawn from Statistics and Mechanics. Studying Mathematics gives students techniques for understanding and solving problems and it encourages the development of a logical and enquiring mind. Mathematics goes well with every subject and it is probably the most marketable A level in terms of acceptability. There are good economic reasons for studying Mathematics and it is difficult to think of any further education course or career where it would not be welcomed in combination with other subjects, i.e., a grade A at A Level Mathematics will open practically any door moving onwards from A Levels.
