Course summary

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.
