A level Further Mathematics studies additional elements from Pure Mathematics, Decision Mathematics and Mechanics that are not covered by the Mathematics A level and is taught as a separate but parallel A level course. Core Pure Content – Proof, Complex numbers, Matrices, Further algebra and functions, Further calculus, Further vectors, Polar coordinates, Hyperbolic functions, Differential equations. Mechanics content – Momentum & Impulse, Work, Energy & Power, Elastic Springs & Strings, Elastic collisions in 1D & 2D. Decision content – Algorithms & Graph Theory, Algorithms on Graphs (eg Dijkstra’s, Prim’s, Kruskal’s, Floyd’s, Chinese Postman problem), Critical Path Analysis, Linear Programming.
GCSE Mathematics at Grade 7. You should also be studying the Mathematics A level in parallel to this course.
The course is assessed with four written examination papers Paper 1: Core Pure Mathematics 1 Paper 2: Core Pure Mathematics 2 Paper 3: Further Mechanics 1 (option C). Paper 4: Decision Mathematics 1 (option D). Each paper is 1 hour and 30 minutes’ written examination and represents 25% of the qualification.
