A Level Further Mathematics is a rigorous and challenging area of study. You will build on the topics covered in A Level Mathematics as well as having the opportunity to study areas of Mathematics that may not otherwise be met until University. You will develop your problem solving skills and learn to communicate solutions in an efficient and concise way for both Pure and Applied modules. Curriculum and assessment In addition to further study of some of the topics covered at A Level, you will also study: • Complex Numbers • Matrices • Calculus • Polar Coordinates • Hyperbolic Functions • Differential Equations You will also study two of the following areas of Mathematics: • Mechanics • Statistics • Discrete Post 18 opportunities Students with a Further Mathematics qualification go on to study many courses at university from Engineering and operational research to Pure Science and Mathematics. Destinations of students in the last two years: University of Oxford – Mathematics Exeter University – Mathematics Nottingham University – Mathematics Expenses Students will be expected to purchase their own textbooks. An appropriate scientific or graphical calculator is essential and there is also the possibility of a trip. Further details will follow on the Induction Days.
7+ in Mathematics [to be studied with A-Level Mathematics]
ASSESSMENT Three 2 hour papers to be taken at the end of Year 13.
