Further Mathematics (MUST be studied with Maths)

Course summary

The course is designed to introduce students to a wide range of analytical techniques, with a greater emphasis on their application of skills to a range of practical problems. Over two years you will be introduced to content in three different areas of Mathematics: Pure, Further Statistics and Further Mechanics. The Pure course includes: > Complex numbers > Proof > Matrices > Further Algebra and Functions > Further Calculus > Further Vectors > Polar Coordinates > Hyperbolic Functions > Differential Equations The Further Statistics course includes: > Discrete Probability > Poisson and Binomial distributions > Geometric and Negative Binomial distributions > Hypothesis Testing > Central Limit Theorem > Chi Squared Test > Probability Functions > Quality of Tests The Further Mechanics course includes: > Momentum and Impulse > Work, Energy and Power > Elastic Springs and Strings > Collisions >> Students will be taught in a variety of ways from formal teaching lessons which help prepare for tackling examination questions to activities and short investigations. >> Students will use calculators, computer programmes and a large data set to investigate the topics previously mentioned. >> Students are given assessments to assess their skills, knowledge retention and ability to problem solve as the course progresses. >> We will also be running formal booster and drop in sessions where students are able to get extra help with their studies. The course is essential for anyone wishing to pursue a career in Mathematics. It is also extremely useful for entry into a wide range of other fields of study such as, Physics, Engineering, Finance, Economics and Computing https://www.ashmoleacademy.org/_site/data/files/post16/1665D110BFBC2774CA4DFED150071DED.pdf#page=21
