Mathematics

Course summary

This course is suitable for students who have studied Higher-tier maths at GCSE & who can confidently use and apply algebra in a variety of contexts. You will have to be methodical and interested in solving problems using a series of logical steps. In pure mathematics, you will apply and extend your understanding of algebra and trigonometry and apply these skills to a range of problems. One of the new branches of mathematics you will study is calculus. This will help you to study situations dealing with change and thus help you understand how the world around you works. Alongside pure mathematics, you will study mechanics and statistics. These subjects will enable you to see how the mathematics you learn can be applied to practical problems in physics, business, and computing among others.
