Mathematics comprises four areas of study. Pure Mathematics - the study of number, algebra, shape, trigonometry and calculus. Mechanics - the study of mathematical modelling in mechanics, vectors, kinematics, dynamics and statics. Statistics - the study of probability and handling data. At AS level students will study two compulsory units in Pure Mathematics, Core 1 and Core 2, and Statistics 1, the first applied unit. At A2 level a further two compulsory units Core 3 and Core 4 and another optional unit from Mechanics 1, Mechanics 2, and Statistics 2 are taken. Under normal circumstances we teach Mechanics 1 to Year 13 students; however we are able to offer alternatives where University courses dictate a different mathematical focus. Throughout the course students will be expected to build upon their knowledge and understanding of the subject at GCSE. They will be encouraged to think logically, solve problems, model real life situations and work independently.
