What the college says

An A-Level in Mathematics provides students with the opportunity to study the subject in greater depth and prepare them for a degree in mathematics or any of the sciences. The statistics element is particularly useful to biologists, psychologists and social scientists, while the mechanics element will provide a good basis for physicists and engineers. Students will need to have a genuine interest in the subject and its applications. A mixture of Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics will be studied. Topics included in pure maths include calculus, sequences and series, algebra, trigonometry, vectors and logarithms. In statistics; sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability, statistical distributions and hypothesis testing. In mechanics: kinematics, forces, Newton’s laws and moments. In Year 13, students complete the A-Level in Mathematics.
