A Level Maths is a fantastic subject which combines ‘Pure Maths’ such as algebra, geometry and functions with Applied Maths modules to suit your interests. It shows potential employers that you have a highly logical mind, which can present organised arguments to solve numerical problems — a skill which is widely sought after. At Cardinal Newman, every student will receive first class tuition, using a variety of teaching strategies, in a modern, spacious environment making Cardinal Newman, in our opinion, the only place to study Maths. The Maths course has a modular structure, with three modules leading to an AS Level in the first year and six modules to an A Level at the end of the second year. The core of the subject is the Pure Maths modules (Core 1, 2, 3 and 4). The first module extends certain topics you have studied at GCSE (number, algebra, graphs) and introduces new ones (e.g. calculus) so that you have the basic tools needed to study Maths at a more advanced level in Core 2, 3 and 4. In addition students will study some Applied Maths modules. These modules are concerned with how Maths can solve real-life problems. The applied choices are Statistics, Mechanics and Decision. Currently our AS students take Decision 1 in the first year and Statistics 1 in the second year but there is a degree of flexibility to this.
