Did you know that: • Inequalities are used in collision-detection algorithms in video games? • Your blood pressure varies periodically, based on your pulse rate, and can be modeled using trigonometric functions. • Mathematicians and engineers use the Taylor Series to approximate and model solutions to complex differential equations such as those that describe the flow of air over an aircraft wing. You will study these topics in Further Maths. Course Content Some of the topics covered in Further Maths are: Proof; complex numbers; matrices; further algebra and functions; further calculus, vectors, polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions and differential equations. Opportunities and experiences in Further Maths • Senior Maths Challenge. • Opportunity to assist in lower school classes or mentor a lower school student. • Problem-solving courses at Teesside University. • Aviation Challenge.
You will need to achieve five or more “4” grades, including Grade 7 in Maths.
At the end of Year 13 you will take 4 papers, each 1½ hours long.
