The A-Level course covers Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics in greater depth and complexity. When studying Pure Mathematics, students extend their knowledge of Algebra and Trigonometry as well as learning brand new ideas such as Calculus. The challenge of problem solving and using different mathematical techniques this course is very appealing to many students. In Mechanics, students learn how to describe mathematically the motion of objects and how they respond to forces acting upon them, from cars in the street to satellites revolving around a planet. Students learn the technique of mathematical modeling; that is, of turning a complicated physical problem into a simpler one that can be analysed and solved using mathematical methods. In Statistics, students learn how to analyse and summarise numerical data in order to arrive at conclusions about it. The range of probability problems is extended by using the new mathematical techniques studied on the pure mathematics course.
