Further Mathematics aims to extend and deepen your understanding of Mathematics. In addition to the A Level Mathematics content you will cover a greater variety of pure topics, including the use of complex numbers, matrices, polar coordinates and differential equations. You will expand upon the mechanics content of the mathematics course with topics such as momentum + impulse, work, energy + power. You will also have your first introduction to the exciting branch of Decision Mathematics. The Further Mathematics qualification is a fantastic choice if you plan on entering a mathematics/ engineering related career or degree course and will give you a head start in the more advanced techniques and knowledge required for further study. Further Mathematics will also supplement mathematics content in other A Level subjects.
You must be studying A Level Mathematics alongside this course. You must have studied higher tier GCSE Mathematics and acquired grades 9-7.
External examinations take place in the summer term of Year 13 and consist of 4 x 1 hour, 30 minutes papers: Paper 1 – Core Pure Mathematics (testing any content) Paper 2 – Core Pure Mathematics (testing any content) Paper 3 – Decision Mathematics 1 Paper 4 – Further Mechanics 1 Each paper counts equally towards the final grade.
