Further Mathematics is taken as a fourth A Level alongside A Level Mathematics. It is rather more challenging than single A Level Mathematics and a genuine interest is necessary to follow Further Mathematics very intensively over the two years. The course further develops ideas met in A Level Mathematics and also brings in new content including Complex Numbers and Matrices. Further optional units in either Pure or Applied Mathematics are also covered but the exact combination of units will be decided based on the make-up of students on the course. It is an excellent grounding for a university course featuring higher mathematical content and some universities see it as a significant advantage to have followed this course.
A grade 8 or 9 at GCSE Maths would be highly desirable for this course.
The A Level course is assessed by four 90-minute papers. • Paper 1: Core Pure (25% of final qualification) • Paper 2: Core Pure (25% of final qualification) • Paper 3: Option 1 (25% of final qualification) • Paper 4: Option 2 (25% of final qualification)
