“The study of mathematics, like the Nile, begins in minuteness but ends in magnificence.” – Charles Caleb Colton A Level Qualification Structure: The three overarching themes of the New A Level Mathematics specification are: Mathematical argument, language and proof Mathematical problem-solving Mathematical modelling First Year You will expand your understanding of the number system and algebra through complex numbers and new forms of algebraic proof. You will learn about matrices and their vast and varied use in solving mathematical problems. Second Year You will develop your understanding and application of complex numbers and matrices. You will also learn new types of functions and alternative ways of plotting coordinates; this culminates in a true synthesis of the knowledge and techniques developed in A Level Further Mathematics.
