A Level Further Mathematics

Course summary

As mathematics is such a vast subject, it is impossible to cover it all in one course. Further mathematics extends the breadth and depth of study; some of the concepts met in A-Level mathematics are extended, whilst some topics not met on the standard A-Level course are introduced. The course is aimed at very able mathematicians who enjoy the subject and are keen to go beyond A Level mathematics. Many students taking this course go on to study mathematics or a mathematics-related degree at university. For many university courses, completion of further mathematics can lead to a lower offer for entry.
