Mathematics is profoundly beautiful, exciting and incredibly important to our lives. The laws of Mathematics govern the world around us and by studying the subject at A Level you will begin to see some of these applications. As well as developing your numeracy, algebra and graphical skills, Mathematics A Level will help hone your ability to problem-solve and hence is highly regarded by employers and universities. Algebra, trigonometry, and sophisticated number work are all part of the Pure Mathematics course. These are joined by work on Probability and Statistics, and the exploration of Mechanics. Here are just a few examples of where all this can take you: – Differential equations are used when studying population growth. – Proof by induction is a powerful tool which is incorporated into the study of logic. – Statistical testing is used widely in the study of psychology. – Applications of forces, link strongly with Physics and allow us to model the dynamics of the world around us. There are several competitions you can participate in at Sixth Form: – Who Wants to be a Mathematician – an international competition – The Senior Team Maths Challenge – a fun team competition with a variety of rounds – Hans Woyda – compete as a team with Year 9 & 11 In Year 12 you also have the option to mentor younger students, either those who need support or those who are the most enthusiastic and are looking for a challenge. You can also sign up to be a Maths Rep and share your passion for the subject through clubs and events. In Year 12 you will attend a Maths in Action day in London which involves a series of lectures given by experts in their field telling us about the many applications of Mathematics in the real world. Past examples include: “Maths in a Spacesuit”, “Fighting Disease with Mathematics”, “Bad Stats: What they Don’t Tell You on the News”, “The Maths of Weather and Climate” and “How to Build a 1000mph Car”. What are the attributes of successful students of Mathematics? You enjoy logical thinking and you derive satisfaction from problem solving. You want to find out more about how Mathematics is used in the real world and would like to delve more deeply into the mathematical ideas introduced at GCSE level. You are dedicated to putting in practice and not afraid to push yourself harder. The course will suit students who are confident with the more algebraic aspects of the mathematics covered in Years 10 and 11 (algebraic fractions, the sine and cosine rules, and surds, for example).
