Studying Mathematics A Level develops excellent problem-solving skills. Students learn how to think logically and analytically, enabling them to take complex problems, break them down into a series of smaller steps, solve each one in turn and then assemble these answers into a solution to the original problem These skills, in addition to being highly satisfying in their own right, are highly valued by employers as well as being key building blocks for the study of many other subjects. Study Mathematics because: • You love the challenge of problem-solving and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing when you have found the correct answer • You enjoy learning about abstract concepts such as algebra, and how these concepts can be applied to real-life problems • It provides the mathematical skills you need to further your study of other subjects. Unless there are special circumstances, we expect a grade 8/9 at GCSE or IGCSE as this demonstrates that you will be able to make the transition to A-Level Mathematics. Being competent at algebra is vital as these skills underpin the way we explain our solutions. We will be helping you with your algebra, and testing you on it, early in the course.
As a minimum, students must achieve at least grade 7 (equivalent to A grade) in four separate subjects. In addition, all students must achieve a minimum grade of 6 (equivalent to a high B grade) in Mathematics and English GCSE or IGCSE. Please also note that a minimum of grade 7 is required in those subjects, or closely related subjects, that students wish to study for A Level with the exception of Mathematics where students will require a minimum grade 8 at GCSE and Further Mathematics where students will require a minimum grade 9 at GCSE. (8 required in Mathematics)
The Mathematics course covers topics in Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics. Pure Mathematics extends ideas introduced at IGCSE such as calculus and trigonometry, setting them in their proper context. We also introduce new concepts such as integration and differential equations You will start to see how all the different branches of Mathematics link together and are used to solve increasingly complex problems. In Statistics, we study methods of analysing and comparing data, probability and statistical testing. This knowledge will be particularly useful in Economics, Psychology, Biology, Chemistry and Geography. In Mechanics we apply mathematical ideas to the study of forces, Newtonian Laws of Motion and vectors. Mechanics is the ideal partner for Physics because many topics overlap but it also complements the other sciences. Assessment will be in the form of examinations at the end of the course.
