Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

Further Mathematics is a subject for enthusiasts who will find the basic A-level relatively straightforward. Since the inception of the National Network giving access to further mathematics for all pupils, most of the leading universities are now demanding further mathematics at some level for those wanting to study mathematics or mathematics-related degrees. Half the content of further mathematics is prescribed and the rest is decided by the exam board. At present further mathematics pupils study the two compulsory core mathematics units, the Decision 1 unit and the Further Mechanics 1 unit.
