The Further Mathematics option should be considered by anyone interested in Mathematics for its own sake, and is also strongly recommended for those considering further study in Physical Sciences, Engineering, Computing, or Economics. Unit 1: Further Mathematics 1 (25% of A Level) The content of this paper will be covered during the Upper Sixth and all the content will be assumed knowledge for Unit 2. Students will learn new topics such as complex numbers and matrices as well as further developing their knowledge of calculus and vectors. Unit 2: Further Mathematics 2 (25% of A Level) The content of this paper will be covered during the Upper Sixth. This unit develops concepts learnt with regard to complex numbers and calculus from Unit 1 whilst introducing new topics such as polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions and differential equations. Units 3 and 4 (25% of A Level each) Unlike Units 1 and 2, which are compulsory, there is an element of choice with regards to Units 3 and 4. There are 8 topic areas further developing the statistics, mechanics and pure mathematics studied so far as well as the introduction of decision mathematics from which two will be studied, both in the Upper Sixth.
