A Level Mathematics is a comprehensive and in-depth study of mathematical concepts, covering a wide range of topics comprising algebra, calculus, statistics, and mechanics. This course is an excellent opportunity to enhance your problem-solving skills, add depth to your prior GCSE knowledge and discover new mathematical concepts. You should choose maths if you enjoy being challenged, if you feel the reward from persevering until you find a solution and you want to further develop your logical thinking skills. The biggest component of the course is pure mathematics, developing your skills in algebra is key to being able to access the vast majority of the content including trigonometry and new topics such as calculus. You’ll learn the application of statistical and probability models which allow for analysis in real world contexts. We also look at the use of technology when analysing large sets of data. Finally, you’ll study mechanics, the mathematics of forces and motion, which will build on prior knowledge from GCSE Physics. The main topics in the specification are listed below: • Proof • Algebra and functions • Coordinate geometry in the plane • Sequences and series • Trigonometry • Exponentials and logarithms • Differentiation • Integration • Numerical methods • Vectors • Statistical sampling • Data presentation and interpretation • Probability • Statistical distributions • Statistical hypothesis testing • Quantities and units in mechanics • Kinematics • Forces and Newton’s laws • Moments
