Studying Mathematics will: • provide a stimulating and challenging course; • develop key employability skills such as problem-solving, logical reasoning, communication and resilience; • increase knowledge and understanding of mathematical techniques and their applications; • support the study of other A-level subjects; • provide excellent preparation for a wide range of university courses; leading to a versatile qualification that is well-respected by employers and higher education. What is covered in A-level Mathematics? All of the content in the AS/A level Mathematics qualification is compulsory and is the same for all examination boards. Pure Mathematics (66%) methods and techniques that underpin the study of all other areas of mathematics, such as proof, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and vectors. Statistics (17%) Statistical sampling, data presentation, and probability lead to the study of statistical distributions Mechanics (17%) is the study of the physical world, modeling the motion of objects and the forces acting on them. Students will be taught by 2 different teachers. Regular homework is set. Each teacher will expect students to spend at least two hours on these assignments per week. All students, who are considering doing a Mathematics, Science, or Engineering degree or who are predicted to gain a grade 8 or 9 in GCSE Mathematics should seriously consider pursuing a Further Mathematics course.
