Paper 1: Further Pure Mathematics 1 Proof ● Complex numbers – modulus and argument, conjugates, Argand diagrams, simple loci ● Matrices – add, subtract and multiply, transformations, determinants, inverse matrices ● Further algebra and functions – roots of polynomials, series formulae ● Further calculus – volumes of revolution ● Further vectors – equation of a straight line and plane, scalar product Paper 2: Further Pure Mathematics 2 Complex numbers – de Moivre’s theorem, exponential form, complex roots ● Further algebra and functions – method of differences, Maclaurin series ● Further calculus – improper integrals, mean value of a function, inverse trigonometric functions ● Polar coordinates ● Hyperbolic functions ● Differential equations – first and second order, simple harmonic motion, damped harmonic motion Paper 3: Further Statistics Linear regression ● Discrete distributions ● Continuous distributions ● Correlation ● Hypothesis testing ● Chi squared tests Paper 4: Further Mechanics ● Momentum and impulse ● Collisions ● Centres of mass ● Work and energy ● Elastic strings and springs
Students wishing to study Further Mathematics must have achieved at least an 8 at GCSE. All potential students will be required to sit a test based on the GCSE syllabus and the summer work in the September registration week. A satisfactory standard must be achieved on this test to embark on the course. Students who choose to take Further Mathematics will study both A Level Mathematics and A Level Further Mathematics. The course is designed so that the A Level Mathematics content is studied in Year 12 and the A Level Further Mathematics course is studied in Year 13. To ensure sufficient lesson time, the course runs across two of the option blocks. Students can therefore choose two further subjects from the remaining two option blocks. Students who choose to study Further Mathematics will complete the Mathematics course, as described above in addition to the following Further Mathematics content.
Further mathematics A level: four 1.5 hour papers each worth 75 marks with 50% pure content and 50% applied
