Can maths be taken without Statistics or Mechanics?

My college offers Maths courses with Statistics or Mechanics. But is it possible to take maths without these units and just take C1, C2, C3 and C4?

On Edexcel you can have a Pure Mathematics AS qualification which is C1-3 and the A2 certificate which is C1-4, FP1 and a choice of FP2 or FP3.

To get the complete Maths A Level you are required to take 2 applied units in addition to core (C1-C4).

Well, you could take Decision (but that's a bit :s-smilie:

).

But to answer your question, you must take 2 applied units for A Level Maths.

You can also do Pure Maths (AQA), but that also requires more than just C1-4 and needs some FP units as well IIRC.

To add to what m4ths said there's a qualification called Pure Maths for AQA too, although it contains C1 C2 and FP1 for the AS, then C3 C4 and one of FP2/FP3/FP4 for the A2
