Aims of the Course

The course should encourage students to develop their understanding of Mathematics and Mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence and fosters enjoyment. It should enable them to develop abilities to reason logically and recognise incorrect reasoning, to generalise and to construct mathematical proofs. They should be able to recognise how a situation may be represented mathematically and understand the relationship between ‘real world’ problems and standard and other mathematical models and how these can be refined and improved.

Scheme of Assessment

The course consists of 3 modules for AS level and a further 3 modules for A level. These will be 2 Pure papers and 1 option paper [either mechanics or statistics] and the same again for A level.
