What is this course about? Why study the course? Mathematics is the science that deals with the logic of shape, quantity and arrangement. Mathematics is all around us, in everything we do. It is the building block for everything in our daily lives, including mobile devices, architecture (ancient and modern), art, money, engineering, and even sports. A-Level Mathematics provides students with a thorough grounding in the mathematical tools and techniques often needed in the workplace. The logical reasoning skills developed make this qualification widely respected even in non-mathematical areas. A-Level Mathematics is split into three sections: - Pure Mathematics covers algebra, calculus, graph sketching and coordinate geometry. - Statistics includes sampling and data presentation, probability and statistical distributions. - Mechanics looks at how forces and moving objects can be modelled mathematically. Where can this course take you? Possible careers related to Mathematics include engineering, architecture, accounting, finance, business, statistical analyst, forensic accountant, actuarial analyst, stockbroker, investment banker, aerospace engineer and computing. Complementary subjects: Subjects that involve data analysis: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Economics and Psychology. How we elevate beyond the specification: • Entry and dedicated preparation sessions for mathematical competitions including UKMT challenges and Olympiads. • Regular trips to public lectures and events related to Mathematics. • Preparation for university entrance exams such as MAT and STEP.
How is this subject examined? Examined via three papers: • Paper 1 & 2: Pure Mathematics. 2 hour written exam out of 100, each paper is worth 33.3% of A-Level. • Paper 3: Statistics and Mechanics 2 hour written paper out of 100 worth 33.3% of A-Level.
