It's particularly suitable for you if you intend to study highly mathematical disciplines at university such as mathematics, engineering, the sciences and economics. You'll learn new areas of pure maths, cover topics such as matrices and complex numbers, differential equations, and polar coordinates and add breadth and depth to the topics you'll be covering in A Level mathematics. Challenges will be more demanding and problems will be more complex, requiring multi-stage thought processes. Throughout the course you will be practising solving problems of increasing difficulty, applying the theory you have covered, developing your skills as a confident and independent mathematical thinker.
