Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

Further Maths is an A Level taken on top of A level Maths and takes topics covered in that qualification further, as well as introducing entirely new concepts. The Further Maths modules consist of further core pure content which makes up two thirds of the course and introduces topics such as Matrices, Complex Numbers and Hyperbolic Functions. The last third is evenly split between a unit of Discrete Maths which introduces topics such as graph theory and game theory. These are areas of maths involved with computer studies and economics. The final module is Mechanics which closely aligns with the kinematics unit in A level Physics and considers work, energy, collisions and circular motion.
