Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

Further Mathematics, as its name implies, goes beyond the requirements of the Mathematics A-level, both in depth and breadth and is only suitable for students who have shown a real flair and enthusiasm for Mathematics at both GCSE and Further Mathematics GCSE levels. It is only oered alongside Mathematics and is therefore taken as a fourth A-level. Those considering highly mathematical courses at Oxford, Cambridge or other top universities would benefit from studying Further Mathematics. There are three areas studied as part of the A-level course: • Core Mathematics (half of the course) • Decision Mathematics (one-quarter of the course) • Further Mechanics (one-quarter of the course)
