Mathematics is a stimulating and challenging course involving problem solving, logical reasoning, communication and resilience. During your two years, you will increase your knowledge and understanding of mathematical techniques and their applications, which also support the study of other A Level subjects. Pure Mathematics (66%): Methods and techniques which underpin the study of all other areas of Mathematics, such as, proof, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and vectors. Statistics (17%): Statistical sampling, data presentation and probability leading to the study of statistical distributions. Mechanics (17%): The study of the physical world, modelling the motion of objects and the forces acting on them.
Pupils who enjoy Mathematics. The course builds on (I) GCSE knowledge so ideally a pupil studying A Level Mathematics has gained at least a Grade 7 at (I)GCSE.
At the end of the 2 year course, pupils sit two Pure and one Applied Mathematics 2 hour papers. The Applied Mathematics paper covers Statistics and Mechanics.
