Mathematical Studies

Course summary

The Core Maths qualification is open to all students achieving at least a grade 4 at GCSE and is ideal for those who are unsure about studying A level mathematics but wish to continue their study of the subject. The course will include topics such as analysing and interpreting data, financial mathematics, modelling, critical analysis and statistical methods. The use of digital technologies, spreadsheet software and computer algebra systems is also an important aspect of the Core Maths course. It will help you to develop your own mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills. Most of the problems will be embedded in the context of other disciplines and real world problems. They have been chosen specifically to support your work in other subjects.
