Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

This course may only be taken by students who have already chosen Mathematics as one of their A Level subjects. Mathematics and Further Mathematics count as two of the student’s A Level subject choices. The course is split into two components. The first component is Pure Mathematics and this component is compulsory. For the optional component, we have opted for Mechanics as we feel that this will be of most benefit to our strongest mathematicians. Pure Mathematics Covers the topics of proof; complex numbers; matrices; further algebra and functions; further calculus; further vectors; polar coordinates; hyperbolic functions; and differential equations. Mechanics Covers the topics of momentum and impulse; work, energy and power; elastic strings and springs and elastic energy; elastic collisions; circular motion; centres of mass; dynamics; and kinematics.
