Course summary

Further Mathematics is taught in addition to, not in place of, A Level Mathematics. It is recommended for students who wish to progress to a degree in Mathematics or a degree with significant mathematical content. Students will be taught to understand and use mathematical argument, language, and proof as well as mathematical modeling and mathematical problem-solving. The pure content of A Level Further Mathematics will include: ● Proof ● Complex Numbers ● Matrices and Matrix Transformations ● Further Algebra and Functions ● Further Calculus ● Further Vectors ● Polar Coordinates ● Hyperbolic Functions ● Differential Equations ● Trigonometry ● Numerical Methods Further to the pure content mentioned above students will also be taught two areas of applied Mathematics, Further Mechanics and Discrete Mathematics. Further Mechanics will build upon the content taught within the main A Level and will include: ● Momentum and collisions ● Work, energy and power ● Circular motion ● Centre of mass and moments Discrete Mathematics is an area of Mathematics that will be new to students and will include: ● Graphs ● Networks ● Network flows ● Linear Programming ● Critical Path analysis ● Game theory ● Binary operations
