Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

The A-Level course is structured similarly to A-Level Mathematics - Further Pure Mathematics, Further Mechanics, and Further Statistics as well as the introduction of some “Discrete Mathematics”. • Further Pure Mathematics In Further Pure Mathematics students extend and deepen their knowledge of proof, algebra, function, calculus, and vectors studied in A Level Mathematics. They will also broaden their knowledge into new areas of study such as matrices, polar coordinates, and complex numbers. • Further Statistics In Further Statistics students explore in greater detail the content of A-Level Mathematics but also extend their skills into new areas such as regression and Chi-squared tests. • Further Mechanics In Further Mechanics students develop further their understanding of kinematics, dynamics, and statics from A Level Mathematics whilst also learning new topics such as impulse, momentum, work, energy, and power. • Discrete/Decision Mathematics Decision/Discrete Mathematics is a branch of mathematics that looks at modeling real-life situations using graph theory and algorithms. Topics such as linear programming, route inspection, and critical path analysis are explored in detail.
