Mathematics

Course summary

Pure Units: These deal with the theory of the subject and take many topics you have already studied one step further. You will study topics based on algebra, sequences, trigonometry and many more. Mechanics: Very useful if you are also studying Physics. Here you will study how and why things move, gravity and energy. You meet Newton’s famous laws of motion and learn how to model throwing a ball or playing snooker! Statistics: Many of the ideas here you have met before. Probability, representation of data and the special distributions make up this unit. It builds on GCSE Statistics, taking it further and demonstrating how it can be used in real life situations. Having an A-level in mathematics opens many doors! Our country has a real shortage of people who are confident and able with their mathematics. You will be in a minority and very attractive to future employers. Love a challenge? Love to think deeply? Choose Maths.
