Further Mathematics (A-Level)

A-Level

What would happen if you could square-root negative numbers? There are infinitely many numbers, so how can we prove that something is true for all of them? How does a satnav choose the best route? How can we use energy to wipe all the complexity from speed/time/acceleration calculations in ordinary maths? This course takes all of the elements of A-level Maths and takes them to a new dimension.

It’s a challenging qualification that deepens your knowledge and understanding of the subject. Students will learn new areas of pure mathematics and further study applications of mathematics in mechanics, statistics and decisions. Some prestigious university courses require students to have a further mathematics qualification. This course is highly beneficial and will clearly demonstrate their total commitment, resilience and ability to focus on challenging content.

Outline

The course consists of four externally-examined papers and topics include further vectors, hyperbolic functions, differential equations, further mechanics and statistics, to name a few.

Entry Requirements

Students will need a minimum of three grade 4s and three grade 5s at GCSE including a grade 7 in Maths. Additional Information: We will consider 1 Vocational qualification in place of a GCSE as long as a grade 4 is achieved in English.
