Pure Maths is composed of algebra, trigonometry, calculus, vectors, coordinate geometry and numerical methods. These topics are core to the entire course and many of the techniques will also prevail in the Applied Maths sections (Statistics & Mechanics). Mechanics introduces the ideas of basic motion, force and energy and applies these ideas to dynamic or static situations. Describing the motion of a car travelling on an inclined plane is a problem in dynamics and calculating the forces exerted on a ladder against a wall is a problem in statics. Mechanics is helpful for students taking Physics or for anyone interested in Engineering or any subject related to the physical sciences. Statistics develops elementary ideas of probability and data analysis methods. If you are taking Biology, Geography, Business Studies or Economics, you will find Statistics useful. A-level mathematics can be studied with a range of A-level subjects but you should bear in mind that it is a prerequisite subject for university courses in Mathematics, Physics and almost all Engineering, Architecture, Computer Science and Operational Research Degrees. Several university courses in Management Science and Economics require or prefer candidates to have an A level in Maths.
Successful candidates will be invited to interview and offers made are conditional on achieving at least four Grade 7/A at GCSE. At this stage, we will also ask for a reference from the pupil’s current school. To study A-level Maths you need to be studying GCSE Higher level (or the equivalent) and you will need to obtain a grade 8. If you have met the above requirements, you will still need to sit a short induction test, which will examine material (mainly GCSE algebra) given to= prospective students towards the end of the academic year.
• A level Mathematics – two papers (each 2 hours duration) of Pure Maths plus one paper (2 hours duration) consisting of two sections; 50% Mechanics & 50% Statistics.
