Mathematics is a useful, elegant and powerful tool which examines and defines relationships and can analyse abstract ideas. It models and solves problems which arise in many subjects, including the Sciences and Economics as well as encouraging the logical thinking which is needed in Law, History and most other disciplines. Further Mathematics is a separate A Level which is taken in addition to Mathematics. It consists of two compulsory papers in Core Pure Mathematics. The students will also then study two further modules in Mechanics and Further Statistics.
For Further Mathematics there should be a real love of the subject and a desire to study in depth. To study at A Level you need to have at least a grade 7 on the Higher Tier papers at GCSE. If you want to study Further Mathematics you need a grade 7 in GCSE Mathematics.
Further Mathematics is assessed by four papers, each worth up to 25% of the total marks and each lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes. Papers One and Two cover Core Mathematics. Papers Three and Four assess optional units from the following: Pure Mathematics, Statistics, Mechanics, and Decision Mathematics.
