Distance Learning Pure Maths A level - The Course

The Pure Maths A level course is split into two major components - AS and A2. The AS level can be sat in its own right.

Each lesson begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study.

Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions.

The AS Level has ten tutor-marked assignments (known as TMAs).  The A2 has a further ten TMAs.

Key Topics Covered

The course covers the seven units in six modules of the following titles:

AS Level

• MPC1: algebra, trigonometry, integration, etc

• MPC2: exponentials, logarithms, etc

• MFP1: complex numbers, linear equations, etc

A2 Level

• MPC3: algebraic functions, coordinate geometry etc.

• MPC4: vectors, further coordinate geometry, etc
• MFP2: hyperbolic functions, matrices, etc

The Syllabus

This course prepares candidates for the AQA Mathematics AS level syllabus 5366, for examination in 2005 and later years. Most candidates will then study the A2 syllabus 6366. The full Advanced Level qualification comprises AS and A2. We have chosen this syllabus as it is the most suited for distance learning.

Assessment is by three written papers for the AS Level and three written papers for the A2 level.
