Dear London School of Economics,
By Math AA HL and Math AI HL, I am referring to the two different maths courses offered by the International Baccalaureate (IB), specifically at the higher level (as opposed to the standard level).

Math AA HL stands for the course: 'Mathematics Analysis and Approaches, Higher Level'.
Math AI HL stands for the course: 'Mathematics Applications and Interpretation, Higher Level'.

Yours sincerely,

Jack Turner
