Mathematics

Course summary

Pure Mathematics - this covers mathematical techniques and skills from algebra, trigonometry and calculus. You will learn how to carry out a variety of mathematical proofs and apply a range of problem-solving techniques. Statistics - develops the skills covered at GCSE involving analysing and representing data and a range of probability topics. It also involves applying technology to analyse a large data set. You will extend your understanding of probability. This area of mathematics provides useful support for several other A-level subjects that include data analysis. Mechanics - you will learn how to solve problems involving objects moving with constant acceleration, including motion under gravity. You will learn how to apply Newton’s Laws of Motion and develop an understanding of Forces. This branch of mathematics is highly relevant for students also studying Physics.
