WHO IS IT SUITABLE FOR? ✓ Students with a keen interest in developing their mathema cal skills. ✓ Anyone who is considering a career in the Sciences, Engineering, Compu ng, Finance and Medicine. ✓ Anyone who enjoys the challenge of logical thinking, pa erns and making sense of the world using these skills. ✓ Students who are prepared to work hard to achieve in their studies of a challenging but rewarding subject. WHAT WILL I LEARN? A Level Maths develops the core tools a mathematician uses, building on knowledge from GCSE. The Pure Core modules consist of algebra: equations, graphs, sequences, trigonometry, and new topics such as calculus. Although the course focuses on these from a pure maths perspective, they are the essential skills used within many different subject areas. The Statistics module focuses on the exploration of a large data set alongside studying correlation and probability. The Mechanics modules explore how things move and how their motion can be modelled using mathematics. WHAT OTHER SUBJECTS GO WITH IT? Students study Maths with just about every combination of subjects possible. Although the Sciences are perhaps those with the most obvious connections, Maths also complements Economics, Computing and the Social Sciences such as Geography. WHERE COULD IT LEAD ME? A mathematician's skillset is not exhausted once they move out of the realm of the numerical. The facets of a student which are developed during a Mathematics degree are easily extrapolated to other situations and areas. For example, rational and logical thought is something which is required in many areas, whether it is in a moral or career capacity. Furthermore the high level of cognition required to comprehend complex mathematical theories and rules is an asset which will benefit an individual in many ways. Many degree courses in Science, Engineering and Economics require Maths A Level, and others prefer you to have it. Students with Maths degrees are highly respected, and Maths graduates go into careers in just about everything from accountancy to insurance, computing to telecoms and business support to law. The website www.mathscareers.org.uk is a good place to start exploring the possibilities.
