What will I study? Either Edexcel Mathematics or Further Mathematics A Level. The examination will consist of three 2 hour calculator papers each worth 100 marks. Two papers cover Pure Mathematics while the other covers both Statistics and Mechanics Pure mathematics You will extend your knowledge of algebra and trigonometry as well as learning some new topics such as calculus. Students use the techniques learned to solve familiar problems and new problems in new ways. Pure mathematics is the backbone of all other branches of mathematics. Mechanics and Statistics You will learn how to describe mathematically the motion of objects and how they respond to forces acting on them. The technique of mathematical modelling is used to analyse and predict the movement of objects in two and three dimensions. This field of study is an important preparation for the study of engineering, cybernetics, robotics, biomechanics and sports science. In statistics students learn how to sample, analyse and summarise numerical data as well as present it effectively and draw conclusions about it. Techniques of analysing data will be studied and there will be further work on probability. These skills are applicable to a wide range of problems and from market research, business analysis, insurance work and testing the validity of experimental evidence. Further Mathematics With over 70% gaining A* to A in Further Maths last year, we significantly exceeded the Edexcel National Average which shows capable students achieve great results in this double award A level
