Mathematics provides a body of learning not only for the specialist in Mathematics, but also to satisfy the needs of those whose main interests lie in other scientific or commercial areas. The course integrates both traditional and modern ideas, providing a smooth progression into new subject areas by development of the mathematical concepts previously learned. Although a significant number of students take Mathematics alongside scientific subjects, increasingly, those studying Arts, Humanities and Languages are opting to take Mathematics to complement their studies. The A Level Mathematics course is made up of 3 modules. Pure Mathematics 1, Pure Mathematics 2 and a combined Statistics and Mechanics module. Pure Mathematics 1 and 2 – These units are assessed at the end of two years by sitting written exams. Students will be examined on Proofs, Algebra and Functions, Coordinate Geometry in the (x, y) plane, Sequences and Series, Trigonometry, Exponentials and Logarithms, Differentiation, Integration, Numerical methods and Vectors. Paper 1 and Paper 2 may contain questions on any topics from the Pure Mathematics content. Statistics and Mechanics – This unit is assessed at the end of two years by sitting a written exam. Students will be examined on: Statistics; Statistical sampling, Data presentation and Interpretation, Probability, Statistical Distributions and Statistical Hypothesis Testing. Mechanics; Quantities and Units in Mechanics, Kinematics, Forces and Newton’s laws and Moments. Paper 3 will contain questions on topics from the Statistics content in Section A and Mechanics content in Section B.
