Pure Maths is the basic tool of the mathematician and it uses the language of algebra. Topics include trigonometry, calculus, graph sketching, exponentials, logarithms, vectors, and functions. Mechanics deals with the physical world of forces and motion. Topics include Newton’s Laws, gravity, momentum, and velocity and acceleration. Statistics topics: probability theory, permutations and combinations, correlation and regression and Hypothesis Testing.
Studying mathematics develops powers of abstract thought and understanding of pattern and sequence. Building on the work of the past, mathematicians now explore practical applications in modern life. Due to the high algebra content it is essential to have a minimum of a high GCSE level 6/7 and preferably a level 7 to progress to AS and A Level Mathematics.
A Level: Three 2-hour papers, equally weighted: Paper 1: Pure Maths Paper 2: Pure and Mechanics Paper 3: Pure and Statistics
