AS and A Level Maths develops knowledge and skills across questions requiring use of mathematical argument, knowledge and proof, problem solving, modelling and use of data in statistics. You will learn to recognise how a situation may be represented mathematically and understand the relationship between ‘real world’ problems and standard mathematical models. You will also develop an awareness of the relevance of mathematics to other fields of study, to the world of work and to society in general.
