A Level Mathematics

A-level Mathematics builds on prior knowledge of algebraic, numerical and geometrical processes, further applying them in areas of statistics and mechanics. Students will learn how to apply these techniques in context, and develop an appreciation of the fundamental importance of mathematics in the world around us. The pure mathematics element of the course covers mostly algebraic techniques, including trigonometry and calculus. The statistics element of the course covers data collection, processing, interpretation and representation of results. The mechanics element is the study of the geometry of movement, known as kinematics.
