Students follow the Edexcel Linear Mathematics courses, composed of the following: • Pure Mathematics which develops and extends topics met at GCSE, especially algebra, trigonometry and calculus. • Mechanics which consider problems involving motion (kinematics) or forces (statics) and investigate the relationships between forces and the motion of particles or large bodies (dynamics). • Statistics which includes the study of chance (probability) and the presentation, analysis and interpretation of data. Your mathematics teacher will be happy to expand upon these brief outlines if you need further advice or information. We offer two A Levels in the department: Mathematics and Further Mathematics.
• General requirement: GCSE grade 6 or above (or Grade B or above) in Mathematics and English Language. • Course requirements: ▪ GCSE grade 7, 8 or 9 (or Grade A or A*) in the subjects to be studied. Maths and Further Maths are considered facilitating subjects as they are amongst some of the most frequently required A Levels for degree courses. Having a Maths A Level on your CV can be a great advantage for your future career and is seen as a valuable qualification in many fields. Some natural ability in the subject is necessary and the entry requirement for studying Mathematics at A Level is a grade 7 at GCSE or IGCSE.
For those students who are particularly passionate about mathematics, it is possible to study A Level Further Mathematics. As A Level Mathematics is a prerequisite, students following this course are taught the normal Maths A Level in Year 12 and then the Further Maths material in Year 13. A Level Further Mathematics consists of 4 papers as follows: Paper 1: Core Pure Mathematics 1 This is a one-and-a-half-hour examination worth 75 marks and is one-quarter of the qualification. Paper 2: Core Pure Mathematics 2 This is a one-and-a-half-hour examination worth 75 marks and is one-quarter of the qualification. Both papers may contain questions on any of the following topics: Proof Matrices Complex numbers Polar coordinates Further vectors Hyperbolic functions Further algebra and functions Differential equations Further calculus Paper 3: Further Mathematics Option 1 This is also a one-and-a-half-hour examination worth 75 marks and is one-quarter of the qualification. Although there are several choices the default option at BGS is Further Pure Mathematics 1 covers the following topics: Further trigonometry Further vectors Further calculus Coordinate systems Further differential equations Inequalities Further numerical methods
