Mathematics

Despite its fierce reputation for being a ‘hard’ subject, Mathematics is the most popular A Level subject at Sidcot. Students who have mastered the Higher Tier work find the challenge of Mathematics at this level rewarding and many continue to study Mathematics, Engineering, Science or related subjects at university. Our course offers a balance of Pure Mathematics (4 units) and Applied disciplines (2 units), Statistics and Mechanics.

This course enables students to study a wide range of applications from the disciplines of Statistics, Mechanics and Discrete Mathematics as well as the disciplines of Algebra, Calculus, Geometry and Numerical Methods which comprise the Pure part of the course. The course emphasises both graphical and algebraic approaches to the material, and uses relevant real-world examples, thus giving students a secure understanding on which they can build.
