Mathematics is the application of a finite number of methods to an infinite number of problems. A level Mathematics provides students with a through grounding in the mathematical tools and techniques often needed in the workplace. The logic and reasoning skills developed by studying A level Maths make sure the qualification is widely respected, even in non – mathematical areas. A good understanding of the principles involved, a willingness to work hard to overcome any hurdles encountered, together with practice in solving the recurrent type of problems, will make a successful Mathematician. The aims and objectives of this qualification are to enable students to understand mathematics and mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence, fosters enjoyment and provides a strong foundation for progress to further study, whilst understanding the coherence and progression in mathematics and how different areas of mathematics are connected. In summary, A level Maths is a challenging but fascinating and extremely rewarding course.
Please note: Students are able to take this option as an Enrichment AS qualification in Year 12. This will need to be taken in addition to 3 A-Levels. The course outline below is for the full A-Level and the AS will contact elements of the content below. Further Mathematics should only be considered by enthusiastic, able Mathematicians. It is a more challenging course which requires dedication as it is deeper and broader than A level Maths. It reinforces and expands some content from Maths, as well as introducing new topics.
Each paper is 1hr 40mins and they have equal weighting. Paper 1 – Any content from Proof, Complex Numbers, Further algebra and functions, Further calculus, Further Vectors, Polar Coordinates, Hyperbolic functions, Differential equations. Paper 2 – Content from the two additional options studied: Further Statistics and Further Mechanics.
