Further Mathematics A2 offers the opportunity to extend your Sixth Form study of Mathematics and to revel in a wealth of mathematical topics. It suits those who have enjoyed the study of Mathematics in Key Stages 3 and 4 and who have found that it comes fairly easily to them. Because of the hierarchical nature of Mathematics, Further Maths must be studied as an accompaniment to Mathematics A level. It is strongly recommended for those thinking of degrees in Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Engineering, or Economics at University but it goes well with a wide variety of other subjects, particularly Computing or Geology.
- We will require a level 8 or preferably a level 9 in GCSE Mathematics. You will need to be the sort of person who enjoys problem-solving and who has a certain fluency in manipulating algebra. This subject can only be studied as an accompaniment to Mathematics. - At least eight GCSEs (including English (Language or Literature) and Mathematics at a minimum of Grade 6)
Assessment is wholly by examination. A2 students take one 2 hour and 40 minute pure paper which contributes 50% of the marks and three one and a quarter hour papers covering each of the applied minor units.
