Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

If you love math's and are really good at it, you should consider this course. You will be taught in a small class of very able mathematicians and must take this course alongside A Level Mathematics. Half of the course will be extra Pure Math's, one quarter will be Decision Math's and another quarter will be Further Statistics. Pure Math's includes vectors, complex numbers and matrices. Decision Math's involves using networks and graphs to solve maximizing or minimizing problems and Statistics consists of hypothesis testing and goodness of fit tests. Course Units: - Core Math's - Decision Math's - Further Statistics Course Can Lead To: For many, Mathematics extends into our chosen profession; civil servants need to analyze data, economists need to recognize financial trends, engineers need to take account of stress patterns in physical materials. This subject is useful if you want to go on to study Math's, Engineering, Computing, Economics or a science at degree level. It can also be beneficial for research based subjects such as Psychology, or subjects involving Business. There are many career paths from studying Mathematics. Course Highlights: - Several of our Further Math's students have taken part in Saturday Schools at universities. - Further Math's students are encouraged to mentor other students. - Opportunities for short work experience type visits.
