Mathematics provides a powerful universal language and an intellectual tool. It is the language of Science and Technology. It enables us to probe the natural universe and develop new technologies that help us understand our environment, and change societal expectations and standards of living. Mathematics disciplines the mind and develops logical thinking, critical reasoning and problem-solving skills. You will use technology to support your Mathematics, making use of mathematical and statistical graphing tools. You will also study a large data set, use technology to explore the data and interpret the real life data in preparation for the examination. A Level of Mathematics can lead to degree courses in Mathematics and Physics. Mathematics is also desirable for many courses in Computer Science, Chemistry, Economics and Finance. Mathematics does not ‘close doors’ to any degree or career path.
6 in Mathematics or equivalent.
The A Level is examined at the end of Year 13 with three 2-hour examinations. These cover the following areas of the course: • Paper 1 - Pure Mathematics • Paper 2 - Pure Mathematics and Mechanics • Paper 3 - Pure Mathematics and Statistics All pupils are also entered for an AS Mathematics qualification at the end of Year 12 for which they sit two 1.5 hour assessments: Paper 1 Pure and Mechanics, Paper 2 Pure and Statistics. Some pupils choose to finish studying mathematics after gaining this AS qualification.
