Mathematics

Course summary

Mathematics is the language of the sciences. In A Level Mathematics, you will not only learn advanced techniques, concepts and equations but you will also develop your skills of proof, problem solving and mathematical modelling. Though a large part of the course is made up of pure mathematics (algebra, geometry and calculus) we will apply these skills to two main areas: statistics and mechanics. In statistics, we will analyse a large data set, search for patterns and test hypotheses by calculating probabilities. In mechanics, we study forces and motion and use this to model real-life situations.
