Half of the content of A-Level Further Mathematics is common to all examinations boards, and will comprise: • Proof • Complex numbers • Matrices • Further algebra and functions • Further calculus • Further vectors • Polar coordinates • Hyperbolic functions • Differential equations The remainder of the content will consist of: Discrete Mathematics • Graphs and networks • Algorithms • Network algorithms • Decision making • Graphical linear programming • Simplex algorithm • Game theory Additional Pure Mathematics • Sequences and series • Number theory • Groups • Further vectors • Surfaces and partial differentiation • Further calculus
34 points minimum. Students must have achieved at least a Grade 7 in the higher tier of GCSE Mathematics. Students should also appreciate the large quantity of algebra covered within the course and, as such, need to be proficient at the basic algebraic skills covered within the GCSE course.
Assessment will be by examination at the end of the course. The students will sit four papers, each 1½ hours in length and equally weighted. There will be two papers on the common content and one on each of Discrete Mathematics and Additional Pure Mathematics. The papers will be a mixture of short and long questions.
