A level of Further Mathematics builds upon the skills acquired while studying Mathematics and students study Further Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics. It is, in particular, a qualification which both broadens and extends those topics covered in A-level Mathematics. This is a challenging course for those with a real interest in and an aptitude for the subject. The training in logic that the course provides is appropriate to most subjects and the course supports careers in the fields of Mathematics, Engineering, Science, Computing, Accountancy and Economics. Moreover, the course equips you with skills such as logistical analysis and deduction, data handling, mathematical modelling and problem-solving, all of which can be applied in almost any field of work.
To be eligible for the MPW University Foundation Programme you must: • Be aged 17+ at the start of the programme* • Entry requirements: Successful completion of local high school (either 11 or 12-year system) with good grades • Meet our English entry requirements • January 2 term programme 5.5 IELTS or equivalent (with no less than 5.0 in any single band) – Pearson PTE (42-49), TOEFL iBT (46-59) or Cambridge (162) also accepted. • September 3 term programme 5.0 IELTS or equivalent (with no less than 4.5 in any single band) – Pearson PTE (36-41), TOEFL iBT (35-45) or Cambridge (154) also accepted.
The course is taught systematically with much interactive discussion in our small tutorial groups. Regular homework, Timed Assignments and practice examination questions are all analysed in detail in tutorials so that students become familiar with the application of all the further mathematical concepts involved and hence gain a thorough understanding of the course material. A Level Specification – Edexcel 9FM0 Paper 1: Core Pure Mathematics 1 (Paper Code 9FM0/01) Paper 2: Core Pure Mathematics 2 (Paper Code 9FM0/02) Proof, complex numbers, matrices, further algebra and functions, further calculus, further vectors, polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions, and differential equations. Paper 3: Decision Mathematics 1 (Paper Code 9FM0/3D) Algorithms and graph theory, algorithms on graphs, critical path analysis, linear programming. Paper 4: Further Pure 1 (Paper Code 9FM0/3A) Vectors, conic sections, Taylor series, calculus differential equations, numerical methods. OR Paper 4: Further Mechanics 1 (Paper Code 9FM0/3C) Momentum and impulse, work, energy and power, elastic strings and springs and elastic energy, elastic collisions in one dimension, elastic collisions in two dimensions. Each paper forms 25% of the final qualification and will consist of a 1-hour paper with a total mark of 75. Students must answer all questions and calculators can be used in this assessment. Paper 1 and Paper 2 may contain questions on any topics from the Pure Mathematics content.
