What will you do on this course? The course may only be taken with A Level Mathematics so together they occupy two subject choices. Further Maths extends many of the ideas in the Maths course and opens up several new lines of study such as Complex Numbers and Matrices. At the end of studying the two courses you will be equipped with a broad yet detailed set of analytical skills ready for a wide range of university courses. Pure topics – Proof, Complex numbers, Matrices, Further Algebra and Functions, Further Calculus, Further Vectors, Polar coordinates, Hyperbolic functions, Differential equations, Trigonometry, Coordinate geometry. Statistics – Discrete and Continuous Random Variables, Poisson Distribution, Type 1 & 2 Errors, Chi Squared Tests, Exponential and t-distributions. Mechanics – Dimensions, Momentum, Work, Energy and Power, Circular Motion, Centre of Mass and Moments. Discrete – Graph Theory, Networks and Flow, Linear Programming, Critical Path Analysis, Game Theory, Binary Operations and Group Theory. The best part about the Sixth Form is the people and the community they create. The Sixth Form is both part of the whole school community yet separate from it at the same time. The Sixth Form Centre is always full of laughter and there’s always people to talk to.
Further Mathematics at A Level can be a challenging subject for some students. A minimum GCSE grade 8 is needed to study this course. Please ask your Maths teacher for advice about your suitability for this course.
How will you be assessed? A Level Examinations – 3 papers, equally weighted: Paper 1 – Pure topics only Paper 2 – Pure topics only Paper 3 – Statistics and Mechanics
