Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

Mathematics is a highly enjoyable and challenging subject. It is intellectually demanding, logical and rigorous, and will develop your ability to problem-solve. Through studying Mathematics in the Sixth Form, you will expand your range of mathematical techniques, learn why methods work, prove results, and forge links between concepts. The applied side of the course is an opportunity to understand how Mathematics is used in real-world situations. As well as the careers that directly use the mathematics taught at A-level (these include the fields of Large Data, Science, Computing, and Economics), the skills gained through studying Mathematics are highly transferable and well regarded. Many jobs involve some form of data analysis and an ability to calculate and interpret statistics confidently and accurately is vital. In addition, numerical fluency, logical thinking, and systematic approaches to problems can be used in almost any field.
