- Develop an understanding of mathematics and mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence and fosters enjoyment - Develop the ability to reason logically and recognise incorrect reasoning, to generalise and to construct mathematical proofs - Extend range of mathematical skills and techniques and use them in more difficult, unstructured problems - Use mathematics as an effective means of communication. This course involves the study of algebraic techniques to a high level. Students will learn to solve first and second order linear differential equations, consider ‘Maclaurin’ and ‘Taylor’ series expansions and explore the topic of polar coordinates. All in all, this course serves as an excellent basis for the serious mathematician who is considering a Mathematical or Engineering based course at university.
Students who wish to take Further Mathematics should have taken the Higher Tier at iGCSE/GCSE and gained at least a Grade 8.
Year 12 Students will complete the AS level course in Mathematics, alongside the AS level course in Further Mathematics. They will sit an internal assessment at the end of Year 12, and this will consist of 2 papers, one core and one applied. The applied section includes mechanics, statistics, harder pure maths and/or decision maths, and a choice is to be made between these courses. This will be chosen as a class near the beginning of the course, and followed through into Year 13. Year 13 A further four examinations are taken, making a total of seven examinations for the Maths and Further Maths Course courses. A Level examinations are 2 hours each and Further Maths papers are 90 minutes each.
