MathsNet A-Level Plus. Nrich: A-level Core Mathematics Curriculum. A-level mathematics is currently modular giving students a choice in the maths they study for their AS (1 year course) or A level (extending the AS). Modules are Core pure maths (C1-4), Statistics (S1, S2), Mechanics (M1, M2) and Decision (D1, D2 being algorithms and so on). There are higher modules for further mathematics candidates. These Further Pure modules would be very handy for engineers. GCSE content Relevant content from GCSE/KS3 is Basic number workRatiosUnitsArithmetic with fractions, simplest form etc.Linear equations and graphsScientific notionAreas, volumes, perimeterBasic data handling / representation Students who have only done GCSE are likely to struggle with indices, notation and formal manipulation. AS Mathematics All AS maths students will do C1 and C2 and one of S1, M1 and D1 For potential biology students, the strong recommendation is to choose the S1 option.
For potential physics or engineering students, the strong recommendation is to choose M1. A-level mathematics. A Level GCE > Mathematics > Mathematics. Ocr gce_spec. AQA GCE 2012. WJEC A level spec.
