Component 1: Pure Mathematics This extends mathematical knowledge from GCSE in familiar areas such as algebra, functions, geometry and trigonometry and introduces new topics such as calculus, series and logarithms. This section of the course is tested in two externally-examined papers. Component 2: Applied Mathematics Section A: Statistics This again extends students' knowledge from GCSE including correlation, regression and probability, but also introduces two of the most important distributions in statistics; the Binomial and Normal distributions. The idea of using statistics in hypothesis testing is also introduced and a real-life large data set is studied. Section B: Mechanics This again extends students' knowledge from GCSE including correlation, regression and probability, but also introduces two of the most important distributions in statistics; the Binomial and Normal distributions. The idea of using statistics in hypothesis testing is also introduced and a real-life large data set is studied.
A minimum of 8 GCSEs in grades 9-5, including English and Maths. Pupils should achieve grades 9-6 in subjects they have chosen for A Level, as well as related subjects.
