Further Maths delves into new and challenging abstract concepts. Through this exploration, your deeper conceptual understanding will enable you to smoothly progress onto mathematically rigorous university courses. Pure content: You will use mathematical argument, language, and proof to solve more abstract mathematical problems. In addition to the content of A-level Maths, you will study the concepts of complex numbers, matrices, polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions and differential equations. These topics are used to model a variety of real-world problems which you will explore in great depth. Mechanics and statistics: You will deepen the understanding gained in the mechanics and statistics content of A-level Maths and learn how to solve problems relating to circular motion, elasticity, and energy and how to model with a variety of probability distributions both continuous and discrete. Where could it take me? Mathematical skills are useful for a variety of careers and degrees. Some of these include science, finance, social science, architecture, and many more! Examples of careers that students have embarked on with A-levels in Maths and Further Maths include pilot, accountant, chemical engineer, actuary, teacher, medical professional, computer programmer, architect, and many more.
44 points or more from their best 8 GCSE results. One level 2 vocational qualification of equivalent value to a GCSE may be counted towards the best eight.
Three 2-hour papers at the end of the second year which are equally weighted. Paper 1 and paper 2 are further pure maths, paper 3 is applied mathematics (mechanics and statistics).
