What the college says

A series of four Core units covered over 2 years along with a choice of 2 Applied units from Decision, Statistics and Mechanics. When studying pure mathematics at A2 and AS level you will be extending your knowledge of topics such as algebra and trigonometry as well as learning some brand new ideas such as calculus. You will learn to appreciate how these concepts serve as the foundation for other branches of mathematics. One such branch is Statistics. In statistics lessons you will learn to analyse and summarise data in order to draw out statements that describe what the data is all about. In society today we are bombarded with information from a variety of sources. The Statistics units will give you the tools to look this information critically and efficiently. In Mechanics you will learn to apply mathematical calculations to the movement of objects, while Decision helps to improve your logical and reasoning abilities.
