An A Level in Mathematics is highly regarded by the majority of employers and universities, precisely because of the demands it makes and the skills it develops. The course, for example, will help you to develop the techniques required for science-based disciplines as well as provide a solid foundation for further mathematical study. Students are taught for 5 one hour periods per week and are expected to study independently for at least an extra 4 hours per week. Students will be involved in problem-solving and discussion which is aimed to develop an analytical understanding of the mathematical concepts required. This will be done through a combination of task-focused teaching and practice using both textbook and ICT sources. The Core Mathematics topics extend the students’ mathematical knowledge from GCSE. We revise and build on such topics as Graphs, Sequences, and Trigonometry while introducing Calculus, which is the foundation of most advanced topics. The techniques introduced here form the basic mathematical knowledge required for science, engineering, economics, and many business higher education courses. The Statistics topics develop GCSE Data Handling and introduce new areas such as hypothesis testing and linear regression. The study of probability is taken to a much greater depth than at GCSE. The ability to use the ideas from this module is important in the fields of management, accountancy, medical research, and psychology.
