Course summary

Mathematics at A Level is a subject worth studying for its own sake as well as being a sought after qualification in the workplace and in higher education. It is divided into three branches: Core (Pure) Mathematics This extends knowledge of such topics as Algebra, Trigonometry and Geometry as well as learning some new ones such as Calculus. The ideas in Pure Mathematics are interesting in their own right, but they also serve as a vital foundation for other branches of mathematics , especially mechanics and statistics. Mechanics This involves learning how to describe, mathematically, the motion of objects and how they respond to forces acting upon them. Many of the ideas form an introduction to modern fields of study such as robotics and biomechanics, as well as the more traditional ideas of engineering and physics. Statistics Students will learn how to analyze and summaries numerical data in order to arrive at conclusions and predictions about it. Students will extend the range of probability problems that they studied for GCSE by using the new mathematical methods studied in Pure Mathematics
