What the college says

Mathematics A-Level teaches highly respected and widely used skills. The skills are essential for further study in areas such as engineering, economics, business, electronics, computing and design. The course consists of Pure and Applied papers, in the ratio 2:1. The Applications are Mechanics and Statistics, each equally weighted. Pure Maths is the manipulation of algebra and solving harder equations. Students will begin to use differentiation for rates of change and integration for area under curves, and extend their knowledge of trigonometry and series. Mechanics is the study of motion and equilibrium of bodies, including forces and moments. Statistics is the study of data and probability, to make predictions of the likelihood of events. Maths is a very popular and successful subject at Richard Challoner, and successful completion of the course provides very good career prospects. Enjoyment and ability in algebra is essential to the course. An algebra test forms part of the enrolment process to A-Level Maths.
