Course summary

A-Level Maths will build on your GCSE knowledge, deepen your understanding of the subject, and develop crucial problem-solving skills needed for life. Just as languages provide the building blocks and rules we need to communicate, maths uses its own language, made up of numbers, symbols, and formulas, to explore the rules we need to measure or identify essential problems. Studying maths helps us find patterns and structures in our lives. Practically, maths helps us put a price on things, create graphics, build skyscrapers, and generally understand how things work, or predict how they might change under different conditions. Maths is a challenging yet highly rewarding subject to study, it requires hard work from the outset but you are well supported and guided by your teachers to help you achieve the best possible grade and get the most out of your time studying Maths at Woodrush. Some of the Topics Studied: - Proof - Algebra and Functions - Sequences and Series - Trigonometry - Exponentials and Logarithms - Differentiation - Integration - Sampling - Probability - Forces and Newton’s Laws - Kinematics
