A Level Mathematics requires skills of a high level of numeracy and problem solving with persistence, logic, attention to detail, being able to link concepts between topics, processing and analysing information. Gaining success is hard work, but all the more satisfying for this. These skills are applied in many other subjects at A Level and beyond. Pupils can enter AS Level at the end of year 1 if they decide not to continue to a full A Level. Mathematics A Level combines well with A Levels in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Geography, Psychology, Economics, Business Studies, Art & Design, Design & Technology and Languages. This subject can lead to university courses such as Mathematics, Pure and Applied Sciences, Medical Sciences, Engineering, Computer Science, Geography, Environmental Sciences, Social sciences, Architecture, Economics, Business, Management and Finance.
Requirements for this course are a love of mathematics, attention to detail, accuracy, processing, problem-solving. This should be backed up with confidence in high level mathematical skills, particularly in algebra, coordinate geometry and trigonometry. Minimum grade 7 at GCSE is required. Knowledge and understanding to this level is assumed to access this advanced level course. At SLC the Casio CG-50 graphical calculator will be required for the course.
The content is split between pure mathematics and applied in a ratio of 2:1. The applied content is equally weighted between Mechanics and Statistics. Pure content includes proof, algebra and functions, coordinate geometry, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation & integration and vectors. Statistics content includes sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability, statistical distributions and hypothesis testing. Mechanics content includes quantities and units in mechanics, kinematics and forces and Newton's laws. Assessment is through three equally weighted papers, each 2 hours long with 100 marks. Calculators should be used on all three papers.
