Course summary

Ever wondered why you can’t square root a negative number? Ever considered what might happen if we allowed this anyway? An A-level in Further Maths will expose you to new concepts and ideas that you never thought possible in GCSE and many of them are not touched in the ‘single’ Maths A-level. Ideas such as Complex Numbers, Matrices and 3D vectors are vital if you are considering studying Maths or Engineering at University and they will be useful for many more subjects. If you enjoy the satisfaction of solving long and complex problems or you thrive on understanding new and exciting areas of Mathematics then choose Further Maths alongside your ‘single’ Maths A-level choice.
