A Level Further Maths

Course summary

A-level Further Mathematics is designed to broaden and deepen the mathematical knowledge and skills developed when studying A-level Mathematics. It will be studied alongside A‑level Mathematics and provides a stimulating experience for those who enjoy the subject. A Level Further Maths provides a much deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. Students will use their mathematical skills and techniques to solve challenging problems which require them to decide on the solution, strategy, recognise when mathematics can be used to analyse and solve a problem in context, represent situations mathematically and understand the relationship between problems in context and mathematical models that may be applied to solve them. A-level Further Maths content is heavily focused on additional Pure Mathematics but also contains a proportion of optional content from Mechanics, Statistics and Decision Mathematics. This course is suitable for: - students who have a passion for maths and will be planning to study maths at university - students who want to pursue a future career that uses maths in a significant way. - students are willing to work hard to build on their knowledge from GCSE as well as master A Level Maths content.
