Further Maths Summary
A-level Further Mathematics is designed for students who wish to study beyond an A-level in Mathematics, and provides a solid foundation for progression into further study particularly in Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, Economics and other scientific subjects. Further Mathematics A-level is one of the top ten subjects held in the highest regard by the top universities.
Further Mathematics is both broader and deeper than A-level Mathematics. As well as building on the algebra and calculus introduced in A-level Mathematics, the Further Mathematics pure core content introduce complex numbers and matrices; fundamental mathematical ideas with wide applications in Mathematics, Engineering, Physical Sciences and Computing. The non-core content enables learners to specialise in areas of Mathematics that are particularly relevant to their interests and future aspirations, and gives learners the opportunity to extend their knowledge in applied mathematical and logical reasoning.
We offer Mechanics and Discrete as our options in Further Mathematics. These support and enhance skills explored in the Mechanics aspects that exist in A-level Mathematics, as well as introducing work on algorithms and graph theory.
