The content for A level Mathematics covers Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics. There are overarching themes of mathematical argument, language and proof, problem solving and mathematical modelling. A level Mathematics enables students to:

• understand mathematics and mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence, fosters enjoyment and provides a strong foundation for progress to further study.
• understanding, coherence and progression in mathematics and how different areas of mathematics are connected.
• apply mathematics in other fields of study and be aware of the relevance of mathematics to the world of work and to situations in society in general.
• use their mathematical knowledge to make logical and reasoned decisions in solving problems both within pure mathematics and in a variety of contexts, and communicate the mathematical rationale for these decisions clearly.
• use their mathematical skills and techniques to solve challenging problems that require them to decide on the solution strategy.
• use technology such as calculators and computers effectively and recognise when their use may be inappropriate.

Pure Maths contains coverage of the following content: Proof, Algebra and functions, Coordinate geometry in the (x, y) plane, Sequences and series , Trigonometry, Exponentials and logarithms, Differentiation, Integration, Numerical methods, Vectors Statistics: Statistical sampling, Data presentation and interpretation, Probability, Statistical distributions, Statistical hypothesis testing Mechanics: Quantities and units in mechanics, Kinematics, Forces and Newton’s laws, Moments.

Five GCSEs grades 4-9 including grade 6 GCSE Mathematics.

Mathematics is an essential basis for all further education in physics and engineering and is useful in many other subjects. This qualification can lead to many interesting careers in economics, statistics, computing, accountancy, actuarial work, operational research, education, administration, banking, insurance and sociology.
