Mathematics provides a means of communication which is powerful, concise and unambiguous. Its study develops logical and analytical thought processes that make mathematicians excellent problem solvers. As well as being a subject in its own right, Mathematics is an important element in many other disciplines and fields where the power of Mathematics to explain and predict events has made possible many technological advances. Single Maths This course combines Pure Mathematics with Mechanics and Statistics. Students will be taught to use and apply standard techniques: reason, interpret and communicate mathematically, and solve problems within mathematics and in other contexts. The Pure modules consist of areas of mathematics with which the students are already familiar: algebra, trigonometry, coordinate geometry, sequences and series. They also explore new areas such as calculus, exponential and logarithmic functions and numerical methods. Two Pure Mathematics examinations are taken at the end of the Senior Sixth. Mechanics covers topics concerned with the motion of particles and the effect of forces on objects. Statistics involves the analysis of data in a variety of forms and the study of probability theory. In both applied disciplines, students will learn to model real-life situations mathematically to make predictions. There is a single Applied Mathematics examination that is taken at the end of the Senior Sixth: Mechanics and Statistics are equally weighted in this assessment.
We welcome applications for admission into the Sixth Form, which is normally conditional upon students achieving at least a grade A or 7 at GCSE in the subjects they wish to study, good passes in English and Mathematics and having at least five GCSEs at grade 7 or above. Applicants studying Science and Additional Science at GCSE should note that a grade 7 or above in Mathematics is required if they wish to study a Science subject at A level.
Paper 1: Pure Mathematics 1 (2 hours, 100 marks). Paper 2: Pure Mathematics 2 (2 hours, 100 marks). Paper 3: Applied Mathematics: Statistics and Mechanics (2 hours, 100 marks). Each paper is worth 33.3 ̇% of the final grade.
