By its nature, Mathematics often has clear real world applications and at other times can appear to be quite abstract. A Level Mathematics reflects these two qualities by combining Applied modules: Mechanics and Statistics, which use Mathematics to solve real life problems with Pure modules; Pure Mathematics 1 and 2, which focus on the underlying tools and discoveries of Mathematics such as Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus and Proof. Working through the “A 2 A-Star Booster Pack” on MyMaths would be an excellent way to prepare for the demands of studying A Level Mathematics. Two excellent books that may give you an insight into why people wish to study Mathematics for the beauty and intrigue of the subject are ‘Fermat’s Last Theorem’ by Simon Singh and ‘The Music of the Primes’ by Marcus Du Sautoy.
At least a Grade 7 in GCSE Mathematics.
A Level Mathematics is assessed by three papers; each paper is two hours long and they are all equally weighted. Two of the papers test Pure Mathematics topics such as algebra, calculus and proof. The other paper is a combination of Mechanics and Statistics. All papers allow the use of a calculator.
