Further Mathematics at A-Level will put you in an excellent position if you wish to study Mathematics or a subject with a very high mathematical content at university, (e.g., Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computing, Statistics, Actuary Science etc.). Some Russell group universities insist that students wishing to apply for these courses study Further Mathematics at A-Level. The course is designed to broaden and deepen the mathematical knowledge and skills developed when studying A-level Mathematics. It provides the opportunity to study aspects of the pure and applied strands of mathematics to a greater depth. For example, the pure mathematics met at A Level is extended to cover topics such as complex numbers, matrices, further algebra and functions, further calculus, further vectors, polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions and differential equations.
