Course summary

Mathematics is an exciting and rewarding subject, which is universal. It is the tool and language of commerce, engineering and other sciences – physics, computing, biology and beyond. Studying A level Mathematics provides a broad range of skills in problem solving, logical reasoning and flexible thinking. It helps us to see and recognise patterns and to understand the world around us. This course aims to develop the concepts covered at Higher GCSE level, in addition to new concepts such as Differentiation and Integration. Students who chose A level mathematics enjoy its challenge, its clarity and knowing when they are right. Arriving at the solution of a problem, through determination and commitment is hugely satisfying. The course compliments the sciences, in particular physics, making it an attractive choice.
