Any pupil capable of passing an A Level in Mathematics should also be able to pass AS Further Mathematics. Studying Further Mathematics consolidates and reinforces your standard A Level mathematics work, helping you to achieve your best possible grades. If you are planning to take a degree such as Engineering, Sciences, Computing, Finance/Economics, etc., or perhaps Mathematics itself, you will benefit enormously from taking Further Mathematics, at least to AS Level. AS Further Mathematics introduces new topics such as Matrices and Complex Numbers that are vital in many STEM degrees. Pupils who have studied Further Mathematics find the transition to such degrees far more straightforward. If you decide to study for a mathematically rich degree during Lower Sixth, but are not taking AS Further Mathematics, it is often possible to start AS Further Mathematics alongside A Level Mathematics in the Upper Sixth. Further Mathematics qualifications are highly regarded and are warmly welcomed by universities. Pupils who take Further Mathematicians are really demonstrating a strong commitment to their studies, as well as learning Mathematics, which is very useful for any mathematically rich degree. Some prestigious university courses require you to have a Further Mathematics qualification and others may adjust their grade requirements more favourably to pupils with Further Mathematics. If you are not planning to study for mathematically rich degrees but are keen on Mathematics, you will find Further Mathematics a very enjoyable course. Achieving this qualification identifies you as having excellent analytical skills whatever area you are considering for a career. FURTHER MATHEMATICS A LEVEL: 4 papers each 1 hour 30 minutes PAPER 1 . Weighting 25% Pure- Content overview Proof, Complex Numbers, Matrices, Further Algebra and Functions, Further Calculus, Further Vectors. PAPER 2. Weighting 25% Pure- Content overview Complex Numbers, Further Algebra and Functions, Further Calculus, Polar Coordinates, Hyperbolic Functions, Differential Equations. NB: All the content of the specification for Paper 1 is assumed knowledge for Paper 2 and may also be tested within parts of questions. Paper 2 is designed to build upon the content of Paper 1. PAPER 3. Weighting 25% Option 1: Further Statistics 1 - Linear Regression, Statistical Distributions (discrete), Statistical, Distributions (continuous), Correlation, Hypothesis Testing, Chi Squared Tests. PAPER 4. Weighting 25% Option 2: Decision Mathematics 1 – Algorithms and Graph Theory, Critical Path Analysis and Linear Programming.
*Also offered as an AS Level, spaces permitting Subject Requirements - 7 or higher in Maths GCSE (You must also be taking A Level Maths)
