What the college says

This course extends the knowledge you learnt and skills you gained from GCSE. You will use lots of algebraic work to study new and familiar areas of Mathematics in great depth. The ability to think clearly and produce systematic solutions is important. The work is challenging and usually needs to be completed by the next lesson, since the topics are often inter-dependent. You will need to be committed and well organised. There is very little written work so it provides a good contrast to heavily essay based subjects. What you will do: • Core Mathematics - proof, algebra, functions, trigonometry, coordinate geometry, sequences and series, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation, integration, vectors and numerical methods • Statistics - mathematical models in probability and statistics, correlation and regression, discrete random variables and the normal distribution • Mechanics - mathematical modelling in mechanics, vectors in mechanics, kinematics of a particle moving in a straight line, dynamics of a particle moving in a straight line or on a plane, statics of a particle and moments. Future prospects: • It is a very highly regarded 'A' level • It adds value to your application for almost any course in Higher education • It is particularly useful for supporting further study in science subjects, geography and economics • At University there are hundreds of different courses based on Mathematics which you can choose from and many combined degrees, e.g. Mathematics and Phi
