Course summary

Further maths is all about giving you an opportunity to broaden and deepen your mathematical knowledge and skills alongside A Level maths. Further Maths will really excite and challenge you, giving you the opportunity to develop your thinking skills, mathematical modelling ability and appreciation of the subject in a new and enjoyable way. This subject is challenging and academically demanding but will provide you with a wealth of opportunities. The first year covers all A Level Maths topics which build upon your GCSE knowledge and provide the building blocks for all the other modules and branches of mathematics. You also study some of the applications of maths. In mechanics you will look at topics such as kinematics, forces and Newton’s laws, while in statistics you learn about statistical distributions and hypothesis testing. During your second year you will study the Further Maths topics covering core and pure mathematics, further statistics and further mechanics.
