Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

The Mathematics A-Level covers topics from Pure Mathematics (662/3%) and both Mechanics (162/3%) and Statistics (162/3%). A good further mathematician has all the skills of a normal mathematician but is likely to be sharper at picking up new skills as well as being able to recall a wide range of skills and select the best method to solve a complicated problem. The student will also have a wide range of other interests to which to relate the abstract skills, such as string theory, number theory, computer programming or economics, to name but a few possibilities. A practical and logical mind, together with a willingness to persevere, is essential.
