What the college says
This course provides an introduction to the mathematics of new topics such as complex numbers, matrices, polar co-ordinates and hyperbolic functions that are not studied as part of the standard A level course. Other topics, such as calculus, are taken much further, and explored to a greater depth. Students will study mechanics and statistics, as with the single A level, but again in more depth.
What you need to get on
This option is chosen in addition to A level mathematics, as it builds on work covered on that course. Being a more difficult A level, this course is aimed at students achieving at least grade 7 in GCSE mathematics.
How you are assessed
Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.
What this level means
The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
