Course summary

The Double Mathematics course comprises of two A Levels: Mathematics and Further Mathematics. Students will study for A Level Mathematics in Year 1, and sit the exams for this in the summer term. In Year 2 students will study for Further Mathematics, having already gained an A Level in Mathematics. In both years students will have double the curriculum time compared to other courses to allow for the completion of a whole A Level in one year. In Further Mathematics, the course begins by looking at the key concepts of complex numbers and matrices. Many of the topics learned the previous year, In Mathematics, such as trigonometry, calculus, series, vectors, and proof, are explored at a deeper and more complex level. Brand new concepts such as number theory, group theory, and power series are introduced.
