A level Further Maths

Course summary

Further mathematics is designed for students with an enthusiasm for mathematics, many of whom will go on to degrees in mathematics, engineering, the sciences and economics or any subject where mathematics is developed further than in A level mathematics. Further mathematics is both deeper and broader than A level mathematics. As well as building on algebra and calculus introduced in A level mathematics, the A level further mathematics core content introduces complex numbers and matrices, fundamental mathematical ideas with wide applications in mathematics, engineering, physical sciences and computing. The noncore content includes different options that can enable students to specialise in areas of mathematics that are particularly relevant to their interests and future aspirations.
