The areas of study for the new Mathematics A-level courses can be split into three sections; Pure Maths, Mechanics and Statistics. In Pure Maths you will learn new techniques to explore and model problems algebraically. Ever wanted to find the gradient of a curve? You’ll learn how in Pure Maths. Mechanics explores real-world problems involving motion and forces; use the techniques you have learnt in Pure Maths to find the velocity you’d be travelling at during a parachute jump. Statistics will teach you to calculate and interpret statistics including; the probability that you pass your exams! Or that the England football team could ever win the World Cup. There are many links to other subjects in Mathematics; Physicists will find many parallels between the Pure Maths and Mechanics content and the Physics course, whereas Biologists, Geographers and Psychologists will all employ techniques learnt in Statistics.
