Mathematics

Course summary

Pure Mathematics is essentially Algebra and Trigonometry developing from GCSE but there is no further Geometry or Arithmetic. The subject content becomes more abstract and demanding, the teaching more academic and students will need to be able to apply the concepts to fresh contexts and to produce well explained solutions involving a series of logical processes. The Application aspect of the course now contains a Statistics and a Mechanics element. There is no choice in which papers you can take at A Level single subject.
