This course enables students to apply mathematics to make sense of situations in their studies and in the world around them. The course develops algebraic, graphical and statistical ideas with a strong emphasis on applying the learnt techniques. The use of graphical calculators is an essential part of the course. The A2 course has a calculus and a comprehension module, and a third module which is entirely coursework. The use of software, especially spreadsheets, is an essential part of the A2 course. The course will appeal to students who enjoy maths and who feel that it will support their main studies.
