Further Mathematics GCEA

UPDATED 20161014 14:55:25

A-level Maths has been the most popular subject at The Purbeck School for the previous three years. A positive attitude to Mathematics is encouraged and it may be seen as an interesting but challenging subject. We constantly seek to give our students confidence that enables them to express ideas fluently, to talk about the subject with assurance and to use the language of mathematics. Summary of course content The A-Level Mathematics course will develop your existing knowledge of mathematics into a range of more advanced maths study areas. It will introduce you to the possibilities offered by algebra, trigonometry, geometry, differentiation and integration. Because learning maths is integral to so many different fields of study and work, your Mathematics A-Level will be a hugely versatile qualification and an asset in whatever you go on to do. The Mathematics A-Level syllabus is split into six units: Core Maths 1 - Indices & Surds, Algebra, Coordinate Geometry, Differentiation Core Maths 2 - Algebra and Functions, Sequences and Series, Trigonometry Core Maths 3 - Algebra and functions, Inc. Exponentials and logarithms, Trigonometry, Differentiation & Integration, Numerical methods Core Maths 4 - Algebra and Functions, Differentiation and Integration, Differential Equations, Vectors Statistics 1 - Representation of Data, Probability, Discrete Random Variables, Bivariate Data Mechanics 1 - Mathematical modeling, Kinematics, Forces, Momentum, Newton's Laws of Motion Further Mathematics offers opportunities to extend A-Level work on mechanics, statistics and calculus techniques, engages with concepts of abstract algebra and learns how pure mathematics develops after A-Level.
