Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

Further Mathematics A level is taken alongside Mathematics A level, and serves as an entirely separate course. i.e. Maths and Further Maths are two A level subjects. Further Maths cannot be taken without Maths. The Further Mathematics A level extends the range of mathematical skills and techniques studied in Mathematics A level, introducing harder conceptual topics which require greater powers of analysis to decide on solution strategies. Even the best pupil will find that a lot of private study is necessary. For those on the Further Maths courses in the Lower Sixth who find the commitment too great, it is easy to change to the single course at any time. It is not generally possible to change from single Maths to the double subject after the first few weeks, due to the pace of course coverage.
