Mathematics is the science of logic of shape, quantity and arrangement; it helps us to understand the world around us, in everything we do. Mathematics is fundamental for everything in our daily lives, including mobile devices, architecture, art, money, engineering and even sports. Mathematicians seek and use patterns to formulate conjectures and then endeavour to resolve the truth or falsehood of these conjectures by mathematical proof. Mathematical reasoning can provide insight or predictions about nature and, often, abstract mathematical structures can be used as good models of real phenomena. Mathematics applies to any kind of career that involves the environment, planning, or collecting and interpreting data. Popular careers for people with mathematics qualifications include cryptographer, engineer, accountant, teacher, scientist, statistician, economist, architect, computer scientist, programmer, and stockbroker.
Students will have a minimum of 6 GCSE subjects at Level 5 (grade C) or above and the following subjects also have additional requirements: • Further Mathematics: Level 7 in GCSE Mathematics • Science subjects: Level 6 in GCSE Mathematics • P.E: Club-level participation in at least one sport • Music: Proficiency in an instrument/voice to at least grade 5 level and GCSE music • Art and Design: A strong portfolio of work, if GCSE has not been studied previously
Paper 1 and Paper 2: Pure Mathematics What is assessed? • Proof • Algebra and functions • Trigonometry • Coordinate geometry • Sequences and series • The binomial expansion • Differentiation • Integration • Numerical methods • Vectors • Exponentials and logarithms How is it assessed? • Written examinations: 2 hours per paper • 100 marks per paper • 33.33% of the qualification per paper Paper 3: Statistics and Mechanics What is assessed? • Statistical sampling • Data representation and interpretation • Probability • Statistical distributions • Statistical hypothesis testing • Correlation and regression • The normal distribution • Quantities and units in mechanics • Kinematics • Forces and Newton’s laws • Dynamics • Moments
