What the college says

A-level Mathematics builds primarily on algebra and coordinate geometry skills studied in GCSE Mathematics. The course contains two main strands – pure mathematics and applied mathematics, the latter of which splits evenly between statistics and mechanics. In pure mathematics, you will be introduced to new concepts such as the binomial series expansion, trigonometric equations, logarithms, and calculus. In statistics, you will learn about statistical measures, probability distributions and hypothesis testing while mechanics explores equations of motion and forces. ​ ​You will have a different teacher for each of the three strands with lessons split into: ​ Pure – 5 Lessons per fortnight ​ Mechanics – 2 Lessons per fortnight ​ Statistics - 2 Lessons per fortnight ​ ​You will be provided with topic booklets for each new area of study that your teachers will work through with you. Providing examples as well as exercises, minimising the amount of pointless writing whilst maximising your output in lessons. ​
