Further Pure Mathematics extends ideas of algebra, calculus and geometry and introduces new topics which include complex numbers, matrices, hyperbolic functions, polar coordinates and differential equations. Further Mechanics gives a formal basis for the study of elasticity, collisions in two dimensions and centres of mass. New concepts for solving problems are introduced, including impulse momentum and the Work Energy Principle. Further Statistics explores more models which are used to analyse real-world problems including the Poisson, Geometric and Negative Binomial distributions as well as more abstract concepts like Probability Generating Functions and Type I and II Errors.
To achieve success in Mathematics at A Level requires considerable commitment and a willingness to work hard, alongside strong ability in the subject, demonstrated by a minimum of Grade 7 at GCSE. The majority of those taking Further Mathematics A Level will also have taken Further Mathematics at GCSE, although this is not a strict requirement. Mathematics A Level works well as a choice alongside any other subjects. There is a significant overlap with the Sciences and Technology as well as the numerate areas of subjects like Economics and Geography. Students considering reading Mathematics, Computer Science, Natural Sciences, Engineering or Economics at Oxbridge or other top universities should, if they are able, very seriously consider Further Mathematics. Many students study Mathematics at university and it is a much sought-after degree in the financial and technological industries as well as elsewhere.
Four 90-minute papers, taken from: Core Pure 1, Core Pure 2, Further Pure 1, Further Statistics 1, Further Mechanics 1 and 2. (Some choice is available including taking extra papers with the best marks counting.)
