Course summary

Mathematics is the fastest growing subject at A Level and beyond. It offers students with good skills in algebra the chance to study the subject at a higher level, providing a thorough grounding in the mathematical tools and techniques needed in more technical workplaces such as engineering and accountancy. A Level Mathematics is also widely respected in non-mathematical areas for the logic and reasoning skills developed by studying for the qualification. The A Level Mathematics is made up three parts: Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics. Pure Mathematics: Proof, Algebra and functions, Coordinate geometry in the x-y plane, Sequences and series, Trigonometry, Exponentials and logarithms, Differentiation, Integration, Numerical methods, 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.
