Mathematics (Further)

Assessment

In addition to the A Level Mathematics papers, there are three further examination papers taken at the end of the Upper Sixth which cover more Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics content. A Level Further Mathematics: Paper 1 Pure Mathematics (2 hours) Paper 2 Pure Mathematics (2 hours) Paper 3 Mechanics and Statistics (2 hours) The following table shows which topics will be studied in each of the three areas of Further Mathematics: Pure, Mechanics, and Statistics. A Level Further Mathematics Pure Mathematics • Proof • Complex numbers • Matrices • Further Algebra & Functions • Further Calculus • Further Vectors • Polar coordinates • Hyperbolic functions • Differential equations • Trigonometry • Coordinate Geometry Mechanics • Dimensional analysis • Momentum & Collisions • Work, Energy & Power • Circular motion • Centres of mass • Moments Statistics • Discrete random variables • Poisson distribution • Type I and Type II errors • Continuous random variables • Chi-squared tests • Exponential distribution • One sample T-test
