The course is designed to introduce students to a wide range of analytical techniques, with a greater emphasis on their application of skills to a range of practical problems. Over two years you will be introduced to content in three different areas of Mathematics: Pure, Further Statistics and Further Mechanics. Course Content The A-level Further Maths course extends and deepens the mathematical concepts covered in A-level Maths, offering a more advanced exploration of both Pure and Applied Mathematics. Over two years, you will study additional pure topics such as complex numbers, matrices, and differential equations, alongside further applications in areas like mechanics and statistics. This course is ideal for students who excel in maths and are considering university courses in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, or other mathematically intensive disciplines. It develops higher-level problem-solving skills and prepares students for the most demanding mathematical challenges. The Core Pure course includes: >Complex Numbers >Matrices >Roots of Polynomials >Further Calculus >Polar Coordinates >Hyperbolic Functions >Differential Equations The Statistics course includes: >Poisson, Geometric and Negative Binomial Distributions >Further Hypothesis Testing >Chi Squared Tests >Central Limit Theorem >Quality of Tests The Mechanics course includes: >Momentum and Impulse >Elastic Springs and Strings >Work, Energy and Power >Elastic Collisions in 1D and 2D The Further Mechanics course includes: > Momentum and Impulse > Work, Energy and Power > Elastic Springs and Strings > Elastic Collisions in 1D and 2D The course is essential for anyone wishing to pursue a career in Mathematics. It is also extremely useful for entry into a wide range of other fields of study such as, Physics, Engineering, Finance, Economics and Computing. Teaching Styles >Students are expected to complete preparation tasks in advance of every lesson to ensure they are fully prepared and equipped with a basic understanding of the lesson focus. >Students will be guided on how to use their preparation work to solve complex mathematical problems. >Following lessons, students will be expected to complete consolidation tasks on the unit taught to ensure learning is embedded. Career Opportunities Studying A-level Further Mathematics opens the door to a wide range of highly specialised and rewarding careers. It is particularly beneficial for students pursuing university courses and careers in fields like mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science, where advanced mathematical skills are essential. It is also highly valued in areas such as economics, actuarial science, data analysis, and financial services, where complex problem-solving and analytical abilities are in demand. Further Mathematics is an asset for careers in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and scientific research. It provides a strong advantage for competitive courses at top universities.
All candidates must attain five passes at grade 5 or higher at GCSE, three of which must be a grade 6 or higher. Within these passes, there must be a grade 5 or higher in English Language and Mathematics plus 8 or above in Mathematics.
The assessment consists of four papers taken at the end of the two-year course. Papers 1 and 2 focus on core pure mathematics, Paper 3 covers further statistics and Paper 4 covers further mechanics. Each paper is 1 hour 30 minutes long, and all are equally weighted.
