Studying mathematics to an advanced level is a challenging but interesting and enjoyable experience. Students like its challenge, its clarity, and the fact that you know when you are right. You should also be aware of the wide importance of mathematics, and the way in which it is advancing at a spectacular rate. Mathematics is about pattern and structure; it is about logical analysis, deduction and calculation. When patterns are found, often in widely different areas of science and technology, the mathematics of these patterns can be used to explain and control natural occurrences and situations. Mathematics has a pervasive influence on our everyday lives and contributes to the wealth of the country. What will I learn? You will learn construction and presentation of rigorous mathematical arguments through appropriate use of precise statements and logical deduction. You will learn how to solve cubic equations in addition to quadratics, you study vectors in three dimensions rather than just two, you explore trigonometry beyond the familiar geometrical context. You will develop your knowledge of probability and statistics from GCSE, so that you can make defensible conclusions in the presence of uncertainty: if you flip a coin ten times and it shows tails every time, would you claim that the coin is biased? You will study a variety of topics including algebra and functions; coordinate geometry in the (x, y) plane; sequences and series; trigonometry; exponentials and logarithms; differentiation and integration.
Grade 7 or above for GCSE Maths GCSE grade 5 in English Language
There will be 3 papers sat at the end of 2 years. Each paper is equally weighted and is a 2 hour written exam. Paper 1 and 2 will consist of Pure Maths whilst Paper 3 will consist of Statistics and Mechanics.
