A Level Mathematics

Course summary

A level mathematics builds from GCSE level mathematics and introduces calculus and its applications. It emphasises how mathematical ideas are interconnected and how mathematics can be applied to model situations using algebra and other representations to help make sense of data, to understand the physical world and to solve problems in a variety of contexts, including social sciences and business. It supports mathematical needs across a broad range of other subjects at this level and it prepares students for further study and employment in a wide range of disciplines involving the use of mathematics. It also supports the study of AS and A level further mathematics.
