Mathematics

Course summary

A-level Mathematics is an interesting and challenging course that extends the methods you learned at GCSE and includes additional applications of mathematics, such as Statistics and Mechanics. Mathematics is a subject that is highly desired by universities and employers alike. The new 2017 syllabus, more than ever, promotes logical and analytical thinking, incorporates the use of ICT to model situations mathematically, and through the development of these skills, facilitates your ability to move on to higher education/training in STEM subjects. The mathematical skills you learn in A-level Mathematics are of great benefit in other A-level subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, computing, geography, psychology, economics, and business studies. Through solving problems you develop resilience and are able to think creatively and strategically. The writing of structured solutions, proof, and justification of results helps you to formulate reasoned arguments. Importantly, you will have excellent numeracy skills and the ability to process and interpret data.
