Mathematics is a stimulating and challenging course that provides key employability skills such as problem solving, logical reasoning, communication and resilience. Mathematics A Level builds on the knowledge and understanding of techniques and applications studied at GCSE with topics in Pure Maths, Statistics and Mechanics studied. Excellent preparation for a wide range of university courses and supporting the study of other A Levels, this is a qualification that is well respected by higher education and employers. A Level Mathematics is a very valued, but demanding course. Students must have the right attitude to succeed.
It is required that candidates will have knowledge and understanding of Maths at GCSE grade 7 or above.
Assessment is by three equally weighted two-hour papers. Papers 1 and 2 (9MA0/01 and 9MA0/02) PURE MATHEMATICS - Proof, algebra and functions, coordinate geometry, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation, integration, numerical methods, vectors. Paper 3 (9MA0/03) STATISTICS - Statistical sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability, statistical distributions, statistical hypothesis testing. MECHANICS - Quantities and units in mechanics, kinematics, forces and Newton’s laws, moments.
