Further Mathematics has increased in popularity in recent years. It tends to be a preferred A Level amongst the top Russell Group Universities for students considering a degree with a high mathematical content, such as Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, Economics, and Computer Science. Further Mathematics A Level can only be studied by students who are also studying Mathematics A Level. Students who are very good at Mathematics and work hard across the two years consistently achieve very good grades in both Mathematics A Level and Further Mathematics A Level because the two subjects complement each other. Students will follow the Edexcel Further Mathematics specification. Across the two years, they will study the compulsory Pure Mathematics syllabus (which includes complex numbers, matrices, proof by induction, Hyperbolic functions, Maclaurin series, Polar coordinates, and second-order differential equations). Our students will study the optional Statistics module (which includes permutations, combinations, the Geometric distribution, the Poisson distribution, contingency tables, correlation, and regression) and the optional Mechanics module (which includes dimensional analysis, work, energy, power, elasticity, and momentum).
Further Mathematics A Level (Edexcel) – Examined at the end of Upper Sixth Paper 1: Mandatory Pure Core 1 25% of the A Level. 90 minutes written paper. Paper 2: Mandatory Pure Core 2 25% of the A Level. 90 minutes written paper. Paper 3: Optional Statistics 25% of the A Level. 90-minute written paper. Paper 4: Optional Mechanics 25% of the A Level. 90 minutes written paper
