Cambridge International AS and A Level Mathematics (9709)
Program Intro
Cambridge international AS and A level mathematics paves a student’s way to 195 universities worldwide. A large number of students take the course in order to find a placement in their dream university. AS level syllabus comprises half of the A level mathematics course. The A level mathematics course comprises of the following areas:
1 Pure Mathematics 1 Paper 1
- Quadratics
- Functions
- Coordinate geometry
- Circular measure
- Trigonometry
- Series
- Differentiation
- Integration
- Pure Mathematics 2 Paper 2
2.1 Algebra
2.2 Logarithmic and exponential functions
2.3 Trigonometry
2.4 Differentiation
2.5 Integration
2.6 Numerical solution of equations
3 Pure Mathematics 3 Paper 3
3.1 Algebra
3.2 Logarithmic and exponential functions
3.3 Trigonometry
3.4 Differentiation
3.5 Integration
3.6 Numerical solution of equations
3.7 Vectors
3.8 Differential equations
3.9 Complex numbers
4 Mechanics Paper 4
4.1 Forces and equilibrium
4.2 Kinematics of motion in a straight line
4.3 Momentum
4.4 Newton’s laws of motion
4.5 Energy, work and power
5 Probability & Statistics 1 Paper 5
5.1 Representation of data
5.2 Permutations and combinations
5.3 Probability
5.4 Discrete random variables
5.5 The normal distribution
6 Probability & Statistics 2 Paper 6
6.1 The Poisson distribution
6.2 Linear combinations of random variables
6.3 Continuous random variables
6.4 Sampling and estimation
6.5 Hypothesis tests
The combination of these components can be made as follows:
- Pure Mathematics only (Paper 1 and Paper 2) or
- Pure Mathematics and Mechanics (Paper 1 and Paper 4) or
- Pure Mathematics and Probability & Statistics (Paper 1 and Paper 5).
However pure mathematics only is not considered as a route to full A level.
The students are supposed to take two papers: Paper 1 and Paper 2.
