Maths

Course summary

Mathematics at A Level is a course worth studying in its own right. It is challenging but interesting. It builds on work you will have met at GCSE but also included new ideas that some of the greatest minds of the last millennium have produced. It serves as very useful support for many other qualifications as well as being a sought after qualification for the workplace and courses in Higher Education. You will develop an understanding of mathematics and mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence and fosters enjoyment. You will develop abilities to reason logically and recognise incorrect reasoning to generalise and to construct mathematical proofs. You will learn to extend a range of mathematical skills and techniques and use them in more difficult unstructured problems. You will develop an understanding of coherence and progression in mathematics and of how different areas of mathematics can be connected.
