Course summary

A-Level further mathematics builds upon A-Level mathematics and is also split into pure and applied mathematics. There are 2 pure modules and 2 applied modules to study. Pure mathematics is the theoretical mathematics that underpins the ability to study applied mathematics. Applied mathematics is the study of real life situations that are modelled mathematically using the theory learnt in pure. Applied modules are split into decision mathematics, which is the study of algorithms which underpins computing, and further statistics, which goes into further depth than A-Level, showing how situations can be modelled as different distributions to predict future results or probabilities of outcomes. What you will do: · Study pure modules— building and extending A-Level mathematics knowledge to imaginary numbers and beyond. · Apply this to areas of A-Level further mathematics, further statistics and decision mathematics, showing you new ways to model real life situations mathematically and solve more complex problems. · Develop your analytical and logical thinking. · Have fun solving more complex problems!
