Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

Further Mathematics both broadens and deepens the material covered in A level Mathematics. It allows you to study a wider variety of mathematics beyond the A level Mathematics syllabus, including mathematics with real-life applications in the growing world of artificial intelligence and logistics. Further Mathematics can be chosen as a full A level as part of a normal three A level programme. In addition, if you wish to study a three A level programme including Mathematics but not Further Mathematics, Further Mathematics could be considered for study as an AS level in the first year, only through the School of Maths programme. On the AS level, you will study a selection of the topics from all the modules listed below. As well as building on topics you are studying in A level Mathematics, there are more branches to explore such as complex numbers, polar coordinates, Hyperbolic functions and many more fascinating topics. As well as the additional pure topics, there are new areas of mechanics and decision mathematics. These include collisions, Dijkstra’s algorithm and linear programming.
