Two-thirds of this course is based on Pure Mathematics, which is the study of Algebra and Functions, including the familiar topics of Sequences and Trigonometry, as well as introducing and exploring Calculus and Logarithms. These topics combine to develop skills that include problem-solving, logic, and analyzing situations. Focus is also given to improving basic numeracy skills and the creativity needed to solve mathematical problems. The other third of the course focuses on Applied Mathematics, which makes use of mathematical skills to solve problems in Mechanics and Statistics. Students completing the A Level in Mathematics have gone on to careers in a wide range of fields, including Engineering, Business, Finance, Science, and Technology. This subject is vital for accessing degree courses in Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering. It is also a useful support for many university courses particularly those in Chemistry, Biology, Computing, Economics, and Social Sciences.
