Mathematics - A level

Course summary

Mathematics is one of the most important areas of human development, forming the basis for logical thought and ensuring that everyday problems can be approached with confidence. Apart from the obvious use of counting the cans of baked beans when you are in your kitchen, or figuring out how far you can stretch your last £20, Mathematics is a skill which can be applied to so many areas. If you find Pi as easy as pie, and have contemplated studying Mathematics at a higher level, but still need a little more convincing, think about the following facts: it increases your employability, statistically you have a higher chance of starting on a higher salary and gives society one more person that could influence new technology or medicine.
