Course summary

YEAR 1 In the first year, we complete the programme of study for A Level Mathematics with Edexcel, which we divide into foundations, calculus and applications. Pre-calculus focuses on the geometric and algebraic fundamentals of mathematics: trigonometry, coordinates, functions, exponentials and logarithms, sequences and proof. Calculus focuses on rates of change and accumulation, and we learn the techniques of differentiation and integration. In applications, we learn about the many ways these ideas can enrich physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics itself. YEAR 2 In the second year, we study A Level Further Mathematics with Edexcel. The course is split into pure mathematics and applied mathematics. In the pure side, we delve deeper into the abstract world of patterns and relationships, studying complex numbers, infinite sums and expansions, hyperbolic trigonometry and further calculus. The applied part focuses on mechanics and statistics, and how mathematics can help answer questions which have puzzled people for centuries. The more we learn, the connections between the abstract and the real become even more mysterious and beautiful.
