Statistics looks at data analysis, probability and hypothesis testing and Mechanics includes topics on vectors, forces, motion and energy. What next? Mathematics A level is essential for degree courses in Mathematics, Engineering or Physics. Most university courses in Computer Science and Operational Research also require Mathematics A Level. Numeracy, statistics and computers are so much a part of modern life that an A level in Mathematics is one of the most useful qualifications. Some of the main careers where Mathematics plays a significant part are accountancy, actuarial science, air traffic control, architecture, banking, economics, surveying and teaching.
