Mathematics (Further)
Course summary
Pure Mathematics which makes up two thirds of the course involves algebra, geometry, trigonometry, graphs, sequences and calculus. Mechanics deal with motion and forces and links well with Physics. Statistics includes analysis of data and probability, including evaluating claims based on data. Discrete Maths includes mathematical study of networks and optimization, and combines well with Computing, Business Studies and Economics. You can expect to: •Widen and deepen your understanding of mathematical concepts •Learn and apply a wide range of mathematical techniques •Study applications of mathematics to Mechanics, Statistics and Discrete Math's •Use and interpret Mathematics in modelling situations based on the real world The Mathematics we study is intrinsically fascinating, but also lays the foundations for further study. This course is often taken alongside the Sciences, Computing and Economics, but students on Further Math's study a wide variety of other subjects, such as Psychology, Music, Media Studies, English, German and History - in fact most courses go well with this subject.
