GCE A Level in Mathematics
at Brentwood County High School · school or sixth form
What the college says
A Level Mathematics is very different from GCSE: the course focuses much more on problem solving and understanding why things are happening mathematically. A Level will give students a sense of the true beauty of Mathematics, and a chance to walk in the footsteps of some of the greatest minds. Students will meet strands of Mathematics that they have not had the opportunity to look at previously, including calculus and mechanics. Mathematics is one of the great creations of human intelligence. It is the language of science, technology and engineering. It is essential for architecture and design as well as economics and medicine; even art relies on mathematics to some extent.
