Further Mathematics is an A-Level qualification which both broadens and deepens the mathematics covered at A-Level. It is designed to be studied alongside A-Level Mathematics. The course introduces new topics such as matrices and complex numbers that are vital in many mathematics-based degrees. Students who have studied Further Mathematics find the transition to such degrees more straightforward. You will be expected to be conversant with the whole of the A-Level Mathematics syllabus and will be introduced to additional topics such as: • Complex numbers and hyperbolic functions. • Matrices and transformations. • Further calculus and further vectors. • Differential equations to solve physical problems. • Polar coordinates. • Linear regression, statistical distributions, correlation and hypothesis testing. • Momentum and impulse. • Centre of mass, work and energy. • Algorithms and linear programming. • Critical path analysis.
These vary for each A-Level subject, but you will need a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 5 or equivalent, including English and Mathematics. Many subjects require grade 6 or above to study them at A Level (please see our subject guides). New students will be given a conditional offer based on their GCSE results, an interview and a reference from their current school. Grade 8 in Mathematics
Students will sit four, 1 1/2 hour examinations, all of equal weight. • PAPER 1: Further Pure Mathematics. • PAPER 2: Further Pure Mathematics. • PAPER 3: Further Mathematics Option 1. • PAPER 4: Further Mathematics Option 2.
