Mathematics

Course summary

A-level Mathematics offers students with a good understanding of Math the chance to study it at a higher level. It provides a thorough grounding in the mathematical tools and techniques often needed in the workplace. Techniques covered include algebra & proof, geometry trigonometry calculus, exponentials & logarithms, sequences & series, and numerical methods which together form the fundamental building blocks of the subject. We will also study some applied mathematics, statistics (sampling, regression, measures of central tendency & spread, probability distributions, and hypothesis testing), and mechanics (vectors, constant acceleration formulae, Newton's laws, projectile motion, friction, and moments). Please note that both the pure & applied content are standardized and no longer vary based on the exam board chosen. Students will enjoy studying a course that will give them a strong foundation for study in other A-level subjects and many varied careers from Astronomer to Zoologist, Cryptologist to Cartographer: Statistician to Systems Engineer, and Meteorologist to Mathematician! By the end of the course, students will have an understanding of the mathematics that underpin many aspects of our lives, the ability to apply a range of mathematical skills to different situations: acute logical thinking and problem-solving abilities, and the ability to process, interpret & analyze information. We hope to see you in our A-level classic next year!
