Mathematics

Course summary

Mathematics A Level continues to develop the topics studied in GCSE or IGCSE mathematics, and introduces methods and techniques used in many subjects at university level and beyond. The mathematics course covers a range of pure and applied mathematics, including mechanics and statistics. Mechanics at A Level is not essential for A Level physics but could be advantageous if you are considering university courses such as physics or engineering. Statistics is increasingly important in many fields such as biology, geography, business, economics and marketing. Mathematics is also an interesting subject to study for its own sake.
