Mathematics

Course summary

Mathematics is an interesting and challenging course which extends methods learnt at GCSE and includes more applications of Mathematics in statistics and mechanics. Studying Mathematics will develop your ability to think more logically and to recognise and analyse situations which can be represented mathematically. Ideally, you should have achieved a Level 7 or above at IGCSE. A-level Mathematics is a fascinating course that requires a mature and dedicated mind, and enthusiasm for studying all aspects of the subject. It can be challenging at times, both in terms of the complexity of the problems to be solved and in the volume of content that is to be covered. The transition to A level is demanding, but support is always readily available. The content of A-level Mathematics is comprised of Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics. Pure Mathematics topics include Algebra and Functions, Coordinate Geometry, Sequences and Series, Trigonometry, Exponentials and Logarithms, Calculus, Vectors, Numerical Methods and Proof. Statistics topics include Sampling, Data Presentation and Interpretation, Probability, Statistical Distributions and Hypothesis Testing. Mechanics topics include Kinematics, Forces and Moments.
