In this course you will build on the knowledge, skills and understanding learnt during your GCSE Maths studies, as well as develop confidence in applications of mathematics, such as statistics and mechanics. A-Level Maths encourages students to develop confidence in mathematics and to recognise its importance in society and in their own lives. This qualification prepares students to make informed decisions about the use of technology, further learning opportunities and career choices. A-level maths will also support your learning in other subjects, such as physics, chemistry, and engineering.
Grade 7 or above in GCSE Mathematics.
This A-Level consists of distinct pure and applied topics: Pure – Proof, Algebra and functions, Coordinate geometry in the (x, y) plane, Sequences and series, Trigonometry, Exponentials and logarithms, Differentiation, Integration, Numerical methods, and Vectors. Statistics – Statistical sampling, Data presentation and interpretation, Probability, Statistical distributions, Statistical hypothesis testing. Mechanics – Quantities and units in mechanics, Kinematics, Forces and Newton’s laws, Moments. Assessment is in the form of externally assessed written examinations, which are taken at the end of the two-year programme. Three written papers: each contributing 33.3% of the final grade. Each paper lasts 2 hours. 100 marks on each paper.
