ALevel Further Maths continues to build on the maths learned in A-level Maths exploring more complex algebra and calculus as well as building on the applied maths. The two A levels are taught together so the students get to experience some further maths topics early in the course like complex numbers and roots of polynomials. Students will experience new topics such as De Moivre’s Theorem and matrices that they have not met before in GCSE, as well as build on their prior knowledge of topics like trigonometry into the calculus of inverse trigonometry and hyperbolic. In addition, students get to develop their use of pure mathematics in a more applied setting such as the use of differential equations in mechanics. Students will develop excellent problem-solving skills and be able to apply their gained knowledge in various scenarios. In addition, students will be able to represent their work in a logical and well-thought-out manner.
6 GCSEs between 9 to 4 (A*-C) for including 2 of English, Maths or Science. 2 should be at least grade 6 (B). GCSE Maths (higher tier) grade 9-8.
Over two years, you will study both A-level Mathematics and A-level Further Mathematics together in one dedicated class. 50% Core Pure Mathematics. 50% Applied Mathematics.
