Mathematics

Course summary

If you choose to study A-Level Mathematics you will develop concepts and ideas old and new. Topics from GCSE mathematics will be taken much further, even into the abstract. With the core element of mathematics, lesson time will be spent looking at mathematical theory and proof, as the subject is sequential you will constantly build on skills covered previously. Then there is the applied aspect, mechanics and statistics are applications of mathematics that are developed as you progress through the course. Some of the areas covered include: Core Maths: Algebra, coordinate geometry, sequences and series, calculus, trigonometry. Mechanics: Kinematics, newton’s laws of motion, vectors, moments, forces Statistics: Data presentation and interpretation, statistical distributions, statistical hypothesis testing and probability Further Maths Core: Complex numbers, polar coordinates, differential equations, advanced algebra, Maclaurin and Taylor series
