The Mathematics Department at BUCHS comprises a team of experienced specialists, who are passionate about their subject and love to share their enthusiasm for Mathematics. In completing a Mathematics A level at BUCHS, you will also benefit from smaller class sizes (typically less than 15 students in a class) which allows for more tailored and individual learning to take place. The Mathematics Department aims to provide an environment in which students have every opportunity to develop their full Mathematical potential in an inclusive environment that stimulates progress for all learners, regardless of ability or background. During this course, you will study Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics. The content builds on your understanding from GCSE and explores a variety of topics including; coordinate geometry, trigonometry, calculus, proof, algebra & functions, numerical methods, vectors, sequences and series, probability, data representation, statistics distributions and hypothesis testing, forces and Newtons Laws, moments and kinematics. You will also develop into strong problem solvers with an understanding of how to apply mathematics to real-life situations with the use of mathematical modelling The main reasons for studying mathematics to an advanced level are that you find it interesting and enjoyable, you like its challenge, its clarity, and the fact that you generally know when you are right. For many university courses, a knowledge of mathematics at the A2 level is seen as desirable, and in some cases essential. Studies have shown that people with an A level in mathematics also tend to earn more on average than those without. Ultimately, mathematics is an amazing subject to have studied at A Level. Provided you have a solid understanding of the GCSE concepts before you start, with perseverance and effort, you should find this course extremely rewarding.
