This course aims to develop your understanding of mathematical reasoning and the application of mathematics to other subject areas. It builds on the foundation provided by GCSE to introduce more abstract and theoretical concepts, involving a wider range of techniques, and places an emphasis on solving problems that may involve different areas of the subject. Potential students of Mathematics at A Level should ideally enjoy working at the subject and be competent in the Algebraic methods studied as part of the GCSE course. Mathematics is generally considered to be one of the most challenging choices, and without a full commitment, it is all too easy to fall below the necessary level of achievement.
