To study A level Mathematics, students should have achieved at least a Grade 7 at GCSE. During the course, you will study Pure Mathematics, contributing two thirds of the final qualification, ‘Mechanics’ and ‘Statistics’. Pure Mathematics extends many GCSE topics such as algebra, trigonometry, vectors and functions while introducing new approaches, especially calculus. ‘Mechanics’ deals with the mathematical modelling of the movement of a particle. ‘Statistics’ models common situations using ‘probability distributions’ and extends GCSE data analysis techniques. Pure Mathematics supports all A level subjects which require mathematical approaches: ‘Mechanics’ is of particular benefit to Physics and Chemistry; ‘Statistics’ is an essential component of many areas of study in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Biology.
