Mathematics

Course summary

A Level Mathematics is a rigorous math's course that builds upon GCSE Mathematics, developing your algebra and creative problem-solving skills to gain a deeper understanding of the beauty and breadth of mathematics. You will build analytic tools to use in a wide variety of other courses such as science, economics and computing. The course allows you to hone your pure mathematics skills in algebra and develop new skills in calculus (the theory of change), trigonometry, infinite series, numerical methods and vectors, improving your creative problem-solving skills and looking at the mathematical proof. You will also apply your knowledge of mathematics to the realm of statistics and mechanics. In statistics you will be analyzing data and drawing conclusions from large data sets about real-world situations and in mechanics you will look at how forces, gravity and motion work.
