Further Mathematics is a qualification which both broadens and deepens the mathematics covered in A-level Mathematics. It is designed to be learnt alongside A-level Mathematics over a two year course. Students taking Further Mathematics overwhelmingly find it an enjoyable, rewarding, stimulating and empowering experience. For someone who enjoys mathematics, the course provides a challenge and a chance to explore new and/or more sophisticated mathematical concepts. It also enables students to distinguish themselves as able mathematicians in applying to university and, later, in the employment market. Topics studied in the course include: Pure mathematics: Proof, Complex numbers, Matrices, Further vectors, Further algebra, Series, Hyperbolic functions, Further calculus, Polar coordinates, Differential equations. Mechanics: Dimensional analysis, Work, energy and power, Impulse and momentum, Motion in a circle, Centre of mass, Further dynamics and kinematics.
A minimum of a grade 7 in GCSE Maths is required to study A Level Further Maths. This subject can only be taken as a 4th A Level choice.
4 x 90-minute exams, each worth 25% of total A Level Paper 1 and 2: Pure Core 1 and 2 Paper 3 and 4: Further Mechanics & Decision Maths
