Pure Mathematics extends GCSE knowledge of areas like algebra, trigonometry and geometry and introduces new topics such as logarithms and calculus. Mechanics involves the study of physical concepts such as velocity, acceleration, forces and moments. Statistics considers analysis and representation of data including working with computers on a real world large data set. Topics such as probability are extended to include random variables and distributions, while ideas of correlation and regression are studied.
To achieve success in Mathematics at A Level requires considerable commitment and a willingness to work hard, alongside strong ability in the subject, demonstrated by a minimum of Grade 7 at GCSE. The majority of those taking Further Mathematics A Level will also have taken Further Mathematics at GCSE, although this is not a strict requirement. Mathematics A Level works well as a choice alongside any other subjects. There is a significant overlap with the Sciences and Technology as well as the numerate areas of subjects like Economics and Geography. Students considering reading Mathematics, Computer Science, Natural Sciences, Engineering or Economics at Oxbridge or other top universities should, if they are able, very seriously consider Further Mathematics. Many students study Mathematics at university and it is a much sought-after degree in the financial and technological industries as well as elsewhere.
Single Mathematics: Three two-hour papers. Pure Mathematics 1, Pure Mathematics 2, Applied Mathematics (Mechanics and Statistics).
