Because mathematics is so important − it is the only subject with a second A Level, extending the standard A level in both breadth and depth. Mathematical ability is a very valuable asset − if you have it, make the most of it! It will develop your problem-solving and analytical skills so valued by employers, and also develop areas of the brain untouched by other subjects, and probably means you end up earning more than the rest of us! Further Maths A Level will give you a huge advantage when applying to the best universities in the country for Maths and Science-based degrees.
Students who study Further Maths at A Level will usually have achieved a Level 7-9 at GCSE and have followed the Higher Course. GCSE, OCRN or BTEC equivalent exam entry requirement of 5+ 9 – 4 grades (A* – C in the legacy system).
Year 1 Paper 1: Core Maths 1. 25% Proof, Complex numbers, Matrices, Further algebra and functions, Further calculus, Further vectors Paper 2: Core Maths 2. 25% Complex numbers, Further algebra and functions, Further calculus, Polar coordinates, Hyperbolic functions, Differential equations Year 2 Option 1: Decision Mathematics. 25% Algorithms and graph theory, Algorithms on graphs, Algorithms on graphs II, Critical path analysis, Linear programming Option 2: Further Pure Maths 1. 25% Further calculus, Further differential equations, Coordinate systems, Further vectors, Further numerical methods, Inequalities Each module (or unit) is examined by a one-and-a-half-hour exam, all of which are sat in the summer of Year 2. All units carry equal weighting towards the full A Level. There is no coursework as part of this course. Regular assessments throughout the course ensure students and teachers alike are able to chart student progress and intervene when necessary
