Mathematics

Course summary

All the content in the AS/A-Level Mathematics qualification is compulsory and is the same for all examination boards. Two-thirds of the course content is Pure Mathematics (methods and techniques which underpin the study of all other areas of mathematics, such as proof, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and vectors). The remaining one-third of the content is applied mathematics and is split equally between Statistics and Mechanics. All topics are taught across both the AS and A-Level qualification. AS content is taught during Year 12 and then built on in Year 13.
