AS/A Level Mathematics: AS and A level subject content sets out the knowledge, understanding and skills common to all AS and A level specifications in mathematics. A level mathematics provides a framework within which a large number of young people continue the subject beyond GCSE level. It supports their mathematical needs across a broad range of other subjects at this level and provides a basis for subsequent quantitative work in a very wide range of higher education courses and in employment. It also supports the study of AS and A level further mathematics.
A level mathematics builds from GCSE level mathematics and introduces calculus and its applications. It emphasises how mathematical ideas are interconnected and how mathematics can be applied to model situations mathematically using algebra and other representations, to help make sense of data, to understand the physical world and to solve problems in a variety of contexts, including social sciences and business. It prepares students for further study and employment in a wide range of disciplines involving the use of mathematics. AS mathematics, which can be co-taught with the A level as a separate qualification, is a very useful qualification in its own right. It consolidates and develops GCSE level mathematics and supports transition to higher education or employment in any of the many disciplines that make use of quantitative analysis, including those involving calculus.

In addition to the pure mathematics content for this course, the support in mechanics and statistics is offered by Sums and Times as well.
