Further Mathematics provides enjoyable, more challenging material and the chance to explore more sophisticated and interesting mathematical ideas. If you are considering applying for a university course involving mathematics (or if you love the subject and are good at it), then you should think seriously about studying Further Mathematics, which leads to an extra Level qualification. It is an entry requirement for most mathematics-related degrees. As well as building on calculus, proof and many other topics, Further Mathematics allows us to explore some new areas of Mathematics including: – Complex numbers, involving the square root of √-1, are used routinely by engineers. – Matrices, involving solving systems of equations or describing transformations, are used in computer graphics. – Probability-generating functions, used by actuaries to calculate risk – Elastic collisions, used to model the movement of a snooker ball Alongside the opportunities listed for Mathematics you will also have the chance to compete in the gruelling Mathematical Olympiad for Girls and, for those who are interested, the UKMT Senior Mentoring Scheme. You love mathematics for mathematics's sake; you are interested in how topics link together but are equally happy to work through a problem merely for the satisfaction of solving it. You find yourself outwardly exclaiming when you discover a new piece of beautiful mathematics and you regularly read about the subject more widely. The course will suit students who are extremely fluent with the more algebraic aspects of the mathematics covered in Years 10 and 11 (algebraic fractions, the sine and cosine rules, and surds, for example) and are confident with the work done in Additional Mathematics.
