MathsNet, in association with AngliaCampus, brings you a full on-line course to provide you with the necessary background knowledge before beginning any Advanced level Mathematics courses in or after September 2000. For more details go to Further Info. For technical information about the interactive pages involved and how to get your browser set up correctly, go to Tech. Choose from A to J. "Students embarking on Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced GCE study in Mathematics are expected to have achieved at least Grade C in GCSE Mathematics or equivalent, and to have covered all the material in the Intermediate tier. In addition, students will be expected to be able to use the material listed whenever it is required. This material, together with the GCSE material, is regarded as assumed background knowledge. It will not be tested by questions focussed directly on it. However, it may be assessed within questions focussed on other material from the relevant specification." from A-Level Specifications

B The laws of indices for positive integer components C Solution of problems involving ratio and proportion (including similar triangles, and links between length, area and volume of similar figures). D Elementary algebra, including multiplying out brackets, factorising quadratics with integer coefficients (to include a2-b2) and solution of simultaneous linear equations by eliminating a variable. E Changing the subject of a simple formula or equation F The equation y=mx+c for a straight line; gradient and intercept. G The distance between two points in 2D with given coordinates. H Solution of triangles using trigonometry, including the sine and cosine rules.
