Mathematics
Course summary
our A level Mathematics programme develop our students’ analytical, research and problem-solving skills. Not only are our students equipped to tackle scientific, mechanical, and abstract problems, they develop logic to tackle everyday issues like planning projects, managing budgets and even debating effectively. Mathematics content include topics like proof, whilst students are familiar with the idea of proof as an algebraic argument of a mathematical statement, this idea will be further developed to include prove by exhaustion and counter example whilst the other types of prove, induction and contradiction is addressed in the second year of study. A ‘big idea’ that is encountered in Pure Mathematics at this level is the notion of rate of change. Average rate of change or instantaneous rate of change is addressed via first principle differentiation of polynomials. Although students are familiar with the equation of a circle.
