A level Mathematics deals with highly abstract topics which require considerable imagination combined with the discipline of ‘proof ’. It also underpins virtually all the practical developments in science, IT and economics which have formed our modern world. A level Mathematics gives you the opportunity to study topics such as geometry, calculus and trigonometry (pure mathematics) and to use these ideas within the ‘applied’ topics such as mechanics and statistics. Mechanics is strongly linked to physics and builds on ideas of motion and forces to work out how and why objects move. Statistics allows us to make sense of the complex and variable world around us via analytical methods in order to draw reliable conclusions from ‘sets’ of information.
• You need at least five GCSE passes at grade 4 – 9 to study at this level. • To be successful for A-Level mathematics, students need to achieve a Grade 7 at GCSE.
Most focus on examinations at the end of the qualification as the main assessment method but some also require the completion of non-examination assessments (NEAs).
