    Mathematics

    A Level Mathematics involves the study of mathematical principles and techniques and their application to theoretical and practical problem solving. It provides the sound base necessary for further mathematical study.

    The course is assessed by 3 equally weighted papers of duration 2 hours.

    Papers 1 & 2 cover the Pure content, including

    • Proof
    • Algebra & Functions
    • Coordinate Geometry
    • Sequences & Series
    • Trigonometry
    • Exponentials & logarithms
    • Differentiation & Integration
    • Numerical Methods
    • Vectors

    Paper 3 covers both Statistics And Mechanics
