Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

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.
