This is a highly regarded qualification that gives students considerable advantages in a wide range of careers and further study. Becoming proficient in Mathematics helps you to develop clear, logical thinking and excellent problem solving skills. It fits well with subjects such as psychology, geography and economics. A Level Mathematics is highly recommended for students studying computer science, chemistry and physics. You will study many aspects of pure Mathematics, mechanics and statistics. The course is a considerable step up from GCSE and so is suitable for those who enjoy mathematics and have strong algebraic skills. The Mathematics department has also been running a popular and successful student mentoring scheme where second-year students meet weekly with first-year students to support them. Every student is encouraged to enter the UKMT Senior Mathematics Challenge, and the most successful are supported in the Senior Team Challenge and the British Mathematics Olympiad. On this course, you will study: Pure Mathematics (two thirds of the course) – Algebra – Proof – Geometry – Sequences and series – Trigonometry – Calculus – Vectors Statistics (one sixth of the course) – Data representation – Probability distributions – Hypothesis testing – Sampling Mechanics (one sixth of the course) – Forces – Kinematics – Dynamics – Newton’s Laws of Motion – Momentum
Five GCSEs at grade 4 or above including a grade 6 in Mathematics.
All content is assessed at the end of the Second Year in three exams, which are each two hours long.
