Mathematics supports the study of a wide range of other AS/A level subjects. Physics, Chemistry, and Biology rely on good algebraic and graphical skills, statistical techniques, and the use of a range of functions including logarithms and trigonometry. In addition, Economics, Psychology, Business, Computing, and Geography all benefit from students having fluent and confident in numerical, algebraic, graphical, and statistical skills. Pure maths is the methods and techniques that underpin the study of all other areas of maths. This includes proof, algebra. Mechanics is the maths used to study the physical world, modeling the motion of objects and the forces acting on them. This includes moments, where the turning effect of a force is considered. Statistics involves statistical sampling, data presentation, and probability, all of which follow on from topics met at GCSE, leading to the study of statistical distributions with special properties. Mathematics is a qualification that is highly valued by employers and universities and is one of the most popular subjects for both boys and girls. The vast range of degree courses and careers that require solid mathematical skills ensures that taking maths to A level or beyond will open doors to a world of opportunities!
