In this course you will build on the knowledge, skills and understanding learnt during your GCSE Maths studies, as well as develop confidence in applications of mathematics, such as statistics and mechanics, which will help consolidate learning in other subjects, especially the sciences and engineering. A-Level Maths encourages students to develop confidence in, and a positive attitude towards, mathematics and to recognise the importance of mathematics in their own lives and to society. This qualification prepares students to make informed decisions about the use of technology, further learning opportunities and career choices.
Grade 7 or above in GCSE Mathematics.
This A-Level consists of distinct pure and applied topics: Pure – Proof, Algebra and functions, Coordinate geometry in the (x, y) plane, Sequences and series, Trigonometry, Exponentials and logarithms, Differentiation, Integration, Numerical methods, and Vectors. Statistics – Statistical sampling, Data presentation and interpretation, Probability, Statistical distributions, Statistical hypothesis testing. Mechanics – Quantities and units in mechanics, Kinematics, Forces and Newton’s laws, Moments. Assessment is in the form of externally assessed written examinations, which are taken at the end of the two year programme. Three written papers: each contributing 33.3% of the final grade. Each paper lasts 2 hours. - 100 marks on each paper.
