Mathematics is the study of abstract patterns and problem-solving. It is the development of another language in which we communicate concepts, situations and ideas. It is this ‘abstract’ nature that means that its methods and results are applicable in almost all aspects of our physical world. Mathematics is the language of the scientific world and heavily supports many other subjects. It is one of the most desired subjects for the widest range of University courses and employers; mathematicians are problem solvers, logicians, numerically astute and accurate, making them eminently employable in a wide range of fields. Single Mathematics All students will follow the same two-year A-Level Mathematics course and the public examinations will take place at the end of the two-year course. • Pure Mathematics: This comprises two-thirds of the total content of the course. It focuses on such topics as algebra, calculus, trigonometry, vectors and other pure topics. • Statistics: This comprises one-sixth of the course. This is the application of Pure Mathematics to matters of uncertainty and probability. In the second year, students go on to study hypothesis testing and how certain one can be of the conclusions drawn from data. • Mechanics: This comprises one-sixth of the course. This deals with the way we can use equations to solve problems relating to physical objects and their motion and interaction; things that move, rotate and collide with each other. Double Mathematics Further Mathematics consists of two distinct A-Levels: A-Level Mathematics (the same course as Single Mathematics) and A-Level Further Mathematics. Both A-Levels will be sat at the end of the U6th, but they are studied successively with Mathematics studied in the L6th and Further Mathematics studied in the U6th. The Further Mathematics course consists of 4 modules: • Pure Mathematics: The modules Further Core Pure 1 and Further Core Pure 2 each make up 25% of the course. Topics studies will include, differential equations, further vectors, hyperbolics, complex numbers, polar geometry, power series and comics. • Further Applied Mathematics: The modules Further Mechanics 1 and Further Statistics 1 each make up 25% of the course. The mechanics element contains topics such as collisions, work and energy, elasticity, dynamics and kinematics. The statistics element contains topics such as random variables, hypothesis testing, Chi-squared, confidence intervals and probability-generating functions. The majority of students who elect to study Further Mathematics have completed the FSMQ Additional Mathematics. Whilst this is extremely advantageous, it is not necessary and students can self-study material over the summer to catch up. This is not a task to be taken lightly; students in this position should discuss with the Head of Mathematics before the summer break following their GCSE exams.
In practice, they should expect to gain a significant number of 8 or 9 grades. We are looking for a minimum of five 8 or 9 grades at GCSE, and at least an 8 in the subjects they wish to study in the Lower Sixth (Year 12),
Further Mathematics students will sit the same three exams as single Mathematics students, plus four Further Mathematics papers.
