Mathematics

Course summary

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.
