Further Mathematics

Course summary

A-level Further Mathematics is designed to broaden and deepen the mathematical knowledge and skills developed when studying A-level Mathematics. It may be studied alongside or after taking A level Mathematics and provides a stimulating experience for those who enjoy the subject. The new A-level Further Mathematics is a linear course with three terminal papers. Two thirds of the qualification will be on Further Pure Core content, with the remaining third being made up of the mathematical applications of mechanics and discrete maths. The Further Pure units build upon the techniques in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and Calculus developed from the Pure Core units as well as introducing topics such as complex numbers, matrices, proof, hyperbolic functions, polar coordinates and differential equations.
