Mathematics

Course summary

A Level Math's 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 math's perspective, they are the essential skills used within many different subject areas. The Statistics and Mechanics modules explore how Math's can be used to explain the world, including the study of probability, correlation, how things move and how their motion can be modelled using mathematics. Students study Math's with just about every combination of subjects possible. Although the Sciences are perhaps those with the most obvious connections, Math's also complements Economics, Computing and the Social Sciences such as Geography.
