Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

Further mathematics is taken in addition to A-level mathematics and aims to develop and extend the knowledge of mathematics students. WHAT WILL I STUDY The further mathematics content is one-half pure maths and one-half applied. The pure content includes proof, complex numbers, matrices, algebra, functions, calculus, vectors and polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions, and differential equations. The first applied topic is mechanics, some of which include elasticity, collisions, and moments. The second applied topic we cover is decision mathematics, which has a link with computing and game theory, and you will study famous problems such as the Konigsberg bridge problem. WHERE CAN MATHEMATICS LEAD? Further mathematics really prepares students for further study of mathematics such as university courses and the careers they lead to.
