For Route 2 mathematicians it is possible to study either AS or A Level Further Math's in Y13. A Level Course content For A level you will study Core Pure Mathematics 1 and 2, together with the options Further Mechanics 1 and Further Pure Mathematics 1. Core Pure Mathematics topics include proof, algebra, matrices, more advanced work on vectors together with polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions and more advanced methods of differentiation and integration. Further Mechanics 1 includes the AS topics plus impulse-momentum and elastic energy. Further Pure Mathematics 1 includes the AS topics plus further calculus and differential equations.
