WHY STUDY MATHEMATICS? ■ to develop understanding of Mathematics and mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence, fosters enjoyment and provides a strong foundation for progress to further study ■ to apply Mathematics in other fields of study and be aware of its relevance to the world of work and to situations in society in general ■ to use mathematical knowledge to make logical and reasoned decisions in solving problems, both within Pure Mathematics and in a variety of contexts. ■ to communicate the mathematical rationale for these decisions clearly ■ to extend the range of mathematical skills and techniques and use them in more difficult, unstructured problems ■ to read and comprehend mathematical arguments and articles concerning applications of Mathematics ■ to acquire the skills needed to use technology such as calculators and computers effectively, to recognise when such use may be inappropriate and to be aware of limitations ■ to take the responsibility for one’s own learning and to evaluate one’s own mathematical development.
A very good pass (preferably Grade 8 or 9) in GCSE/IGCSE Mathematics is strongly recommended since there is an increasing emphasis on problem-solving and on modelling real-life situations.
Assessment of A Level Mathematics is taken at the end of two years and consists of 3 papers, each worth a third of the qualification: ■ P1 Pure Mathematics 1 (100 marks) (2 hours) ■ P2 Pure Mathematics 2 (100 marks) (2 hours) ■ P3 Statistics and Mechanics (100 marks) (2 hours) Students must answer all questions on each paper. Calculators are permitted, and indeed encouraged, in all examinations.
