Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

For those with a real passion and talent for Mathematics, this course can be immensely rewarding and satisfying. It will really extend and deepen your mathematical knowledge and also allow you to further build on the problem-solving skills developed in A-Level Mathematics. As well as furthering understanding of the topics covered in A Level Mathematics, new topics such as polar coordinates, complex numbers and matrices are introduced. To take Further Mathematics A Level you must also be studying Mathematics A Level. All students will enter the Senior Mathematics Challenge and those who score particularly well will be invited to participate in additional Olympiad rounds (BMO). Further Mathematics students also enter the UK Mathematical Olympiad for Girls (MOG) and will have the opportunity to attend seminars given by leading mathematicians on cutting-edge mathematics research and stimulating applications of mathematical topics. They may also have the opportunity to represent the school in the Hans Woyda Mathematics Competition.
