The Mathematics course develops your logical thinking, analytical and problem solving skills. With the AS or A Level students will be required to study pure and applied (both mechanics and statistics) Mathematics with a content ratio of 2:1. In Pure Mathematics students form a better understanding of the relationship between algebraic and graphical representation, the gradients of curves and areas enclosed by curves (Calculus), as well as solving harder equations, sometimes involving trigonometric functions. In the Statistics modules, they develop skills started in the GCSE to analyze and represent data, and also to solve harder probability problems. In the Mechanics course they will be using vectors and trigonometry to model physical problems and use laws of motion to solve problems. All content will be assessed at the end of the course (terminal), an AS Level will no longer count towards an A Level, therefore they are both separate courses. Students are now expected to learn both statistics and mechanics as part of their compulsory content. Assessment Objectives: A01: Use and apply standard techniques: 50% A02: Reason, interpret and communicate mathematically: 25% A03: Solve problems within Mathematics and other contexts: 25% Career & Further Study: Many higher education courses have strong links to GCE Mathematics including economics, medicine, architecture, engineering and accountancy to name a few. There are obvious career links in the world of business and science and less obvious links with journalism. The skills of logical thinking and problem solving are often very desirable in the workplace.
A 7 in Maths Additional Information: Candidates with a high 6 will also be considered.
