Mathematics

Course summary

Those students studying A level mathematics can expect to cover topics in pure mathematics as well as those in mechanics and statistics. The pure mathematics course leads through algebra and co-ordinate geometry into differential and integral calculus. Mechanics, which has strong links with Physics, looks at forces and their effect on the motion of objects. Statistics study involves looking at the analysis and interpretation of data, as well as covering topics in probability. There is no choice of topics allowed in the new A level.
