This course is particularly aimed at able students with a strong interest in pursuing mathematical subjects after A levels such as engineering, science, computing or technology, as well as mathematics itself. If you're planning to study A level maths and would like to broaden and deepen your mathematical knowledge and skills, then taking further maths alongside A level maths may be for you. Further maths is a facilitating subject which means it will also prepare you for a wide range of higher education subjects. Some universities may require further maths for entry to maths degree courses. It will give you a range of transferable skills including logical reasoning and problem solving that are useful in a range of careers. You'll cover pure maths topics including: proof, algebra and functions, coordinate geometry, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation, integration, numerical methods and vectors. You'll also focus on statistics including: statistical sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability, statistical distributions and statistical hypothesis testing. Mechanics will cover quantities and units in mechanics, kinematics, forces and Newton's laws and moments.
To study in the Sixth Form, students much achieve the general entry requirements which are a minimum of 5 x GCSEs (or equivalent) at Grade 4 or above from a range of subjects including Mathematics and English Language. In addition a Grade 8 in Mathematics is required.
Assessment is through final examination at the end of the course. There will be 3 exam papers each of 2 hours duration. Exams will comprise short, single-mark questions to multi-step problems.
