Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

Any pupil applying to study a degree in a STEM subject should also consider taking Further Mathematics alongside A Level Mathematics. Further Mathematics is considered as a separate A Level in its own right. In some cases a qualification in Mathematics or Further Mathematics will reduce the grades required for entry to a degree course in a related subject. Further Mathematics A Level may be taken only in addition to Mathematics A Level. Core Pure Mathematics (50%) Proof, complex numbers, matrices, further algebra and functions, further calculus, further vectors, polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions, differential equations. Further Pure Mathematics 1 (25%) Further Trigonometry, Further Calculus (including Taylor Series, Leibniz's Theorem, L’Hospital’s Rule, The Weierstrass substitution for Integration), Further Differential Equations, Co-ordinate Systems (including Conics), Further Vectors, Further Numerical Methods and Inequalities. Mechanics (25%) Momentum and impulse, work, power and energy, elastic strings and springs, elastic collisions, circular motion, centres of mass, further dynamics and kinematics, simple harmonic motion.
