Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

What is Further Maths? Further Mathematics is designed to broaden and deepen the mathematical knowledge and skills developed when studying A-level Mathematics. It provides a stimulating experience for those who enjoy the subject. Course Structure: Further Mathematics has become an increasingly popular subject for keen and gifted mathematicians. Students wishing to apply for the very best universities, especially for courses in Mathematics and Engineering, will have a greater chance of gaining a good offer if they have studied Further Mathematics. Once at university, students also find that they cope much better with these courses having had some prior experience of the extension topics. The Further Maths A Level introduces Pure Maths topics beyond those covered by AS/A2 Mathematics, including Complex Numbers, Matrices, Proof, Polar Coordinates and Differential Equations. There are also Applied modules available, which extend students’ knowledge of the statistics and mechanics modules studied in A Level Mathematics. The option modules will be chosen at the discretion of the classroom teacher and Key Stage 5 Maths Coordinator.
