Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

Further Maths delves into new and challenging abstract concepts. Through this exploration, your deeper conceptual understanding will enable you to smoothly progress onto mathematically rigorous university courses. Pure content: You will use mathematical argument, language, and proof to solve more abstract mathematical problems. In addition to the content of A-level Maths, you will study the concepts of complex numbers, matrices, polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions and differential equations. These topics are used to model a variety of real-world problems which you will explore in great depth. Mechanics and statistics: You will deepen the understanding gained in the mechanics and statistics content of A-level Maths and learn how to solve problems relating to circular motion, elasticity, and energy and how to model with a variety of probability distributions both continuous and discrete. Where could it take me? Mathematical skills are useful for a variety of careers and degrees. Some of these include science, finance, social science, architecture, and many more! Examples of careers that students have embarked on with A-levels in Maths and Further Maths include pilot, accountant, chemical engineer, actuary, teacher, medical professional, computer programmer, architect, and many more.
