The Westbound Maths Complete A-Level Applied Maths: Mechanics Course covers the entire A-Level applied maths: mechanics syllabus which represents 1/6 of the final exam weight for A-Level Mathematics qualification.
The course consists of 5 lectures with over 4.5 hours of class videos, accompanying exam- styled homework and detailed mark scheme for the following topics:
Forces
Moments
Vectors
Kinematics part I: constant acceleration kinematics, and projectile
Kinematics part II: variable acceleration kinematics
The introduction video gives you an overview of the new A- Level Mathematics specification and the course, and discusses how to fully utilize materials provided in each lecture.
During Class
We will cover the following topics on Forces. The Classnote_Forces handout follows the class video, and includes consolidated key concepts, examples, and exercises gone through in class.
1.Units of quantities in Mechanics
2.Forces
Newton's three laws of motion

Founded by two recent Cambridge graduates, Westbound Maths has been running in-person training for students based in North London since 2018, and now we are online! Our courses are designed for Exam Preparation and Grade Improvement with proven results- 88% of our past students improved their final grades by at least one band from predicted grades!
What Complete A-Level Maths: Mechanics Course in 5 Lectures teach:
The Westbound Maths Complete A-Level Applied Maths: Mechanics Course covers the entire A-Level applied Maths: mechanics syllabus which represents 1/6 of the final exam weight for A-Level Mathematics qualification. The course consists of 5 lectures with over 4.5 hours of class videos, accompanying exam- styled homework and detailed mark scheme for the following topics:
Forces: Newton's three laws of motion, how to draw a force diagram showing weight, friction, normal reaction, tension, thrust/compression etc.
Moments: how to measure the turning effect forces have on an object.
Vectors: understand that vector quantities have both magnitude and direction, and its application.
Kinematics part I: constant acceleration kinematics and suvat formula, projectile which is an application of constant acceleration kinematics.
Kinematics part II: variable acceleration kinematics, displacement-time graph, velocity-time graph.
How to fully utilize the course materials:
Class video: we always start with the key concepts and definition within a topic, and then jump straight into a past exam question (sourced across major exam boards) to see how these concepts are tested and applied, then you will be given an exam-styled classroom exercise for practice followed by a detailed step-by-step guide on how to solve it.
Handouts: every lecture is accompanied with a handout that summarizes key concepts covered, exam- styled question solving examples, and classroom exercise solutions.
Homework with exam-styled questions: for each lecture, the homework contains exam-styled questions which should be completed under exam conditions to help students identify any knowledge gap.
Mistake Diagnosis : use the detailed sample solution to diagnose any mistake in homework which is the key to grade improvement.
