A Level Maths will extend your knowledge of algebra and geometry from GCSE and explore the ways in which mathematics can be applied in the real world. Areas which you will cover include:

· New topics such as coordinate geometry, series, differentiation and integration, all of which are highly algebraic and are an excellent introduction to maths at a higher level.

· Branching further into core maths with topics such as logarithms and exponentials, radian measures and higher level trigonometry.

· Further and more complex work on coordinate geometry as well as vectors in 3D. Lots of the maths studied in earlier core modules is linked together here.

· Mechanics and Statistics: this applied paper introduces students to mathematical modelling of everyday experiences. You will have a better understanding of how the physical world operates and how to use maths to predict what will happen and use statistics to critically analyse and model.

Maths is essential for studying Maths, Physics or Engineering at University. Other courses which benefit from Maths A-Level are medicine, economics, accounting and other sciences such as sports science. It is a highly academic qualification so can help to provide students with the tools required within a vast range of employment opportunities.
