Further Mathematics consists of four externally examined papers. Students must take Paper 1 and Paper 2, the two mandatory Core Pure papers, and two optional papers. The optional courses we currently teach are Further Statistics and Further Mechanics. Pure Core (compulsory): • proof • complex numbers • matrices • further vectors • further algebra • series • hyperbolic functions • further calculus • polar coordinates • differential equations Statistics (optional): • probability • discrete random variables • continuous random variables • linear combinations of random variables • hypothesis tests and confidence intervals • chi-squared tests • non-parametric tests • correlation • linear regression Mechanics (optional): • dimensional analysis • work, energy and power • impulse and momentum • centre of mass • motion in a circle • further dynamics and kinematics The overarching themes below are applied, along with associated mathematical thinking and understanding across the whole of the content in the specification: 1. mathematical argument, language and proof 2. mathematical problem solving 3. mathematical modelling
Candidates sit GL Assessments CAT4. In addition, pupils are expected to achieve 40 or more GCSE points. International pupils should have IELTS at 6.0 or equivalent. Most heads of department recommend at least a grade 7 at GCSE for subjects relevant to sixth form study.
