Course Outline and Assessment
Course Outline and Assessment
Mathematics, as a major intellectual tradition, is a subject appreciated as much for its beauty as for its power. It is the science of pattern and structure, and like language, religion and music; it is a universal part of human culture.
Mathematics is assessed purely by examination across 3 modules taken in June of year 13.
Mathematics beyond GCSE is divided into two branches - Pure and Applied: Pure mathematics accounts for two-thirds of the content covered at A-level and encompasses the traditional areas of algebra, co-ordinate geometry, trigonometry and introduces calculus. Applied mathematics consists of modules in mechanics and statistics. Students studying physics will find significant overlap in their mechanics studies, whilst statistics has important applications in the social sciences and supports further study in subjects such as economics, business and geography.
