Further Mathematics is a very highly regarded subject. Students seeking to study Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics or Engineering at university should consider taking this subject. Oxford and Cambridge universities strongly prefer students applying for Mathematics, Natural Sciences or Engineering courses to have Further Mathematics to at least AS-level. AS-level Further Mathematics consists of one paper in Core Pure Mathematics and one additional paper covering two of the following topics: Further Pure, Decision Mathematics or Further Mechanics. The Core Pure topics open new horizons in mathematics introducing complex numbers, matrices, polar coordinates, summing infinite series and modelling real life using differential equations. The Further Pure 1 additional topic deepens knowledge of Pure topics such as complex numbers, integration and differential equations. The Decision Maths additional topic introduces a new branch of Mathematics not touched upon at GCSE. Topics covered in this module include algorithms, networks and optimisation. These types of problems have wide-ranging applications in the business world, for example in computing, communications and project management. The Further Statistics additional topic extends Statistics knowledge studied in the Mathematics A-level. Students will cover such topics as Quality of tests, Poisson Distribution, Geometric Distribution and Central Limit Theorem. To study Further Mathematics it is a requirement to be studying A-level Mathematics.
Candidates must have a minimum of 6 GCSEs grade 6 and above, including maths and English, and grade 7s in the A-level subjects they wish to study (where relevant).
