Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

There are lots of good reasons for choosing to study Maths at A-level. For the Scientist, the Engineer, the Economist,… those reasons are clear. But, because of its intrinsic logic and beauty, the subject also sits comfortably alongside what is basically an Arts or a Languages combination. So we fi nd choices like English, History and Maths, or Latin, Greek and Maths, as well as various permutations around those themes. The Further Maths course is 75% Pure Maths and 25% Mechanics. We aim to stretch the more able Mathematician by introducing new topics such as Complex Numbers, Matrices, Polar Coordinate systems, Differential Equations,… Boys will take Maths and Further Maths alongside two other A-levels, and the comment about being a tool for those who need it for their further study, or just a nice mix with an Arts or Language combination, applies equally.
