A LEVEL

Course Overview

A Level Mathematics will follow on from several strands of the GCSE curriculum,and develop them further. A key thread throughout the course is algebraic manipulation, reasoning and proof, as well as further work on trigonometrical ratios, geometry and probability. There are also key new elements such as differential calculus, as well as statistical analysis and using Newton’s laws to solve physical problems.
