Duration : 2 years This course will suit you if you have a strong interest in mathematics. This is a very challenging course and you will have to be highly motivated and capable of independent study in order to be successful. The course covers a mixture of pure and applied mathematics. Pure mathematics involves an extension of many areas touched upon in GCSE',' such as algebra',' trigonometry',' and coordinate geometry',' and introduces new',' more abstract topics such as calculus and exponential functions. Statistics involves the representation and interpretation of data',' and lots of probability; decision mathematics looks at algorithms and logical problems. At AS Level you will study: C1: Pure Mathematics 1 C2: Pure Mathematics 2 M1: Mechanics 1 (Mechanics uses pure mathematics techniques to solve problems that involve the action of forces on objects) At A2 Level you will study: C3: Pure Mathematics 3 C4: Pure Mathematics 4 D1: Decision Mathematics 1 Each module is assessed by a 90 minute examination and all carry equal weighting. There is no coursework requirement in either year. Please note: subject to student numbers it is also sometimes possible to study Further Maths AS alongside A2 Maths in your second year. Entry Requirements: You need five GCSEs at grades A*-C',' which must include English. Note that to study A-level maths as part of your programme',' you need to have obtained at least a B-grade at GCSE. Career Options: This is great preparation for further study or a career in science',' engineering',' computing or accounting.
