Course Description If Maths gives you a buzz at GCSE and you enjoy solving problems then taking it further could be for you. Maths is a subject that brings many others together and is a tool used in a wide range of areas. Maths supports work undertaken in sciences, as well as subjects such as Psychology, Business and Geography. It is a subject held in high regard by higher education institutions and employers. You will learn how to analyse a situation, select the methods required and confidently apply them successfully to solve the problem and be able to explain how you have done it. These methods will include some you have done already but at a greater level and many new ones such as calculus and probability methods. With these you will be able to see how strategies to cure diseases are created while looking at methods that are used in quantum mechanics to create algorithms used by satellites, GPS and population behaviour investigations. Mathematics A Level is held in high regard by universities and employers. Previous S6C students have gone on to study biochemistry, computer science, economics, oceanography, paramedic training, naval engineering and psychology. Interesting fact about studying this at S6C Maths at S6C generally has smaller classes which allows students to develop their skills independently while still having rapid access to support. Teaching is given by staff with experience at applying maths in business, the military and industry as well as education.
