Mathematics deals with highly abstract topics which require considerable imagination combined with the discipline of 'proof'. It also underpins virtually all the practical developments in Science, IT and Economics, which have formed our modern world. A Level Mathematics gives you the opportunity to study topics such as geometry, calculus and trigonometry (pure mathematics) and to use these ideas within the 'applied' topics such as mechanics and statistics. You can develop a yet deeper and broader understanding of mathematical concepts by studying Further Mathematics as a separate A Level qualification. There are a wide variety of topics and applications of Mathematics which can be studied at this level. Mathematics and Further Mathematics are highly respected A Levels and support progression to a wide range of degree courses and careers. All science-based degrees require good math's skills, and so too do Engineering and many Computing and Economics-based and Social Science degrees.
At least five grade 9–4 at GCSE or equivalent at L2 In addition the required entry criteria for each of the courses they wish to study in the Sixth Form some of the courses offered may require a higher GCSE grade in a particular subject or subjects
A Level Mathematics consists of two main areas: Pure Mathematic, and Applied Mathematics (consisting of Statistics and Mechanics). Pure mathematics, develops algebraic and geometrical reasoning, and underpins the other disciplines. The applied math's require mathematical modelling to make sense of real-life problems. You will need to use technology where appropriate; for example, the use of spreadsheets and graphical calculators to support statistical analysis. In addition, strong skills in algebraic manipulation are vital. The work you do in and out of class will develop your ability to produce well-reasoned answers to extended questions. Although math's is highly logical, it also requires imagination and determination to work well on your own with an enthusiasm for problem-solving, a willingness to try a variety of approaches and the tenacity to keep going in the hunt for possible solutions to awkward problems.
