Express Maths is for students who have completed AS Level Maths in Year 11 and achieved at least a grade B. You will learn to use your knowledge of mathematical facts, concepts and techniques in a variety of contexts. You will construct rigorous mathematical arguments and proofs through use of precise statements, logical deduction and inference and by manipulation of mathematical expressions. You will use your knowledge of standard mathematical models to represent situations in the real world; recognise and understand given representations involving standard models and learn to discuss the assumptions made and how to refine the models. You will use the results of calculations to make predictions or comment on the context and, where appropriate, read critically and comprehend longer mathematical arguments or examples of applications.
Name: Mathematics (Express) A Level Qualification title: GCE A Level Qualification type: GCE A/AS Level or equivalent Assessment A Level Mathematics is divided into four areas: Core, Mechanics, Statistics and Decision Mathematics. Core Mathematics is the natural extension to GCSE, and ideas such as algebra and trigonometry are extended and new topics such as calculus are introduced and explored. It is theoretical, but is expected to explain ‘real-life’ situations. Mechanics is the study of the motion of objects and how they respond to forces acting upon them. Many of the ideas found in mechanics are used in the fields of cybernetics, robotics, sports science, design & technology, engineering and physics. Statistics is the analysis and representation of information along with the ability to justify your conclusions. You will extend your knowledge of probability to include distributions and perform significance tests to further your statistical processing skills. Decision Mathematics is the application of methods called algorithms to solve problems involving networks and graphs, for example you might wish to find the maximum flow through a network of roads. Many of the ideas are used in microelectronics, scheduling, business and aviation. Some modules are compulsory, others are optional. Each module is assessed by a written examination.
