Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

Further Mathematics A Level is available to those of high mathematical calibre who enjoy an academic challenge. This is a second A Level taken in addition to Mathematics A Level. It extends studies of the same topics in greater depth, as well as introducing other more advanced areas. Pupils are given four extra periods of teaching per week. The syllabus extends that already required for Mathematics A Level. Mathematics and Further Mathematics counts as one choice when taking options but delivers two A Levels. This A Level is much more demanding than the single Mathematics A Level and covers many higher-level topics including complex numbers, matrices, further vectors, proof by induction and much more. It is only suitable for pupils who are almost certain to get an A* in the Mathematics A Level. There are two compulsory modules and two optional papers.
