A Level Mathematics is a rigorous and challenging area of study. You will build on the topics of algebra and geometry met at GCSE as well as being introduced to calculus, exponentials and logarithms. TOPICS • Proof • Algebra and Functions • Coordinate Geometry • Sequences and Series • Trigonometry • Exponentials and Logarithms • Differentiation • Integration • Numerical Methods • Vectors • Quantities and Units in Mechanics • Kinematics • Forces and Newton’s Law • Moments • Statistical Sampling • Data Presentation and Interpretation • Probability • Statistical Distributions • Statistical Hypothesis Testing Post 18 opportunities Mathematics is one of the biggest facilitating subjects and it is essential for many higher education courses and careers, including Mathematics, Engineering, Accountancy, Computing, Medicine and the Sciences. Destinations of students in the last two years: University of Oxford – Mathematics Nottingham University – Mathematics Swansea University – Mechanical Engineering Expenses Students will be expected to purchase their own textbooks and may be required to purchase and complete a transition workbook in the first term of Year 12 to aid the step up to A Level study. An appropriate scientific orgraphical calculator is essential and there is also the possibility of a trip. Further details will follow on the Induction Days.
