What the college says

The content is separated into three areas; compulsory Pure Core (50%), Additional Mechanics (25%) and Additional Pure Maths (25%). Pure Core will extend and deepen knowledge of proof, algebra, functions, calculus, vectors, and differential equations studied in A Level Mathematics. It will also broaden knowledge into other areas of pure mathematics that underpin the further study of mathematics and other numerate subjects with complex numbers, matrices, polar coordinates, and hyperbolic functions. Additional Mechanics extends knowledge of particles, kinematics and forces from A Level Mathematics and uses extended pure mathematical knowledge to explore more complex physical systems. Additional Pure broadens and deepens knowledge of pure mathematics, studying both discrete and continuous topics which form the foundation of undergraduate study in mathematics and mathematical disciplines. AS content is taught during Year 12 and then built on in Year 13.
