Mathematics (Further)
Course summary

This course is a combination of the Mathematics and Further Mathematics A-levels. The content of the Mathematics A-level is taught to allow progression on to some very interesting and challenging areas of Mathematics. Two-thirds of the Mathematics course is Pure Mathematics with the other third being split evenly between Mechanics and Statistics. Between 50-75% of the Further Mathematics course is Pure Mathematics, allowing for learning of applied modules from Further Mechanics, Further Statistics, or Decision Mathematics. In year 12, new topics are introduced, such as Matrices and Complex Numbers, which are vital in many STEM degrees. In year 13, students have the option of specializing in Mechanics, Statistics, or Further Pure, depending on individual strengths and interests.
