Course Details

Why choose maths? It all comes down to what maths is…

Just as languages provides building blocks and rules we need to communicate, maths uses its own language, made up of numbers, symbols and formulas, to explore the rules we need to measure or identify essential problems like distance, speed, time, space, change, force, and quantities.

Studying maths helps us to find patterns and structure in our lives. Practically, maths helps us put a price on things, create graphics, build websites, build skyscrapers, and generally understand how things work or predict how they might change over time and under different conditions.

All modules are compulsory for A-Level Maths. There is a mixture of Pure, Statistical and Mechanical content.
