To begin the AS/A level Maths course you need to have at least grade A at GCSE, however we will consider students with a B grade on an individual basis. You will need enthusiasm, a fondness for the subject and willingness to learn. It is recommended that you purchase a graphics calculator at an early stage of the course, although the scientific calculator from your GCSE is suitable. The course is split into different subjects, pure mathematics (an extension of the work that you have covered at GCSE) including the wide field of calculus and a choice of mechanics or statistics. Two-thirds of the course is Algebra based, but also includes topics such as trigonometry and vectors. At the beginning of the course there will be a period of revision of previous skills in order that you will all be able to start the new work from the course. From that time on, you will learn a wide variety of skills that are all inter-dependent. A couple of weeks after the start of term you will look back at your GCSE work, and realise how much progress you have made.
