A Level Mathematics

Do you wish to:

• show prospective universities that you are prepared to commit to studying a demanding
  subject.
  
  
• Choose a subject that will support your study of other subjects, particularly the Sciences, Economics and Business Studies.
  
  
• Develop your analysis and problem-solving skills and improves your overall mental agility.
  

If so then the A level in Mathematics is for you!

In the past fifty years, old and new applications of mathematical ideas have transformed the way we live.

Mathematics A-Level is well respected by employers and admissions tutors for all degree subjects

 

Course Units - 2 at AS and 2 at A2

At AS Pupils will sit two papers in May / June:

• Paper 1:
  (Pure mathematics) 66.66%
  Covering areas such as proofs, algebra and functions, Coordinate geometry, Sequence and series, Trigonometry, Exponentials and logarithms, vectors and calculus.
  Paper 2:
  (Mechanics and Statistics) 33.33%
  Covering areas such as sampling, presenting and interpreting data, Probability, statistical distributions and hypothesis testing, Kinematics, Forces and Newton’s laws.

Note: This is a stand alone AS qualification.

At A2 students will sit three papers in May / June of their final year:

• Paper 1 and Paper 2:
  (Pure mathematics) 66.66%
  Covering areas such as proofs, algebra and functions, Coordinate geometry, Sequence and series, Trigonometry, Exponentials and logarithms, vectors, calculus and numerical methods.
  Paper 3:
  (Mechanics and Statistics) 33.33%
  Covering areas such as sampling, presenting and interpreting data, Probability, statistical distributions and hypothesis testing, Kinematics, Moments, Forces and Newton’s laws.

Note: This is a linear A Level qualification. See page 3 of the Prospectus for more details.

A Level Mathematics

This qualification requires pupils to have:

7 GCSEs A*-C - including Mathematics / Add Maths, A*-B.

Maths isn't about the boring arithmetic you did in KS3. It isn't about the tedious, long winded answers you did for GCSE. It's a way of thinking – using your mind to solve some of the biggest mysteries of our world
