For those with a real passion and talent for Mathematics, this course can be immensely rewarding and satisfying. It will really extend and deepen your mathematical knowledge and also allow you to further build on the problem-solving skills developed in A-Level Mathematics. As well as furthering understanding of the topics covered in A Level Mathematics, new topics such as polar coordinates, complex numbers and matrices are introduced. To take Further Mathematics A Level you must also be studying Mathematics A Level. All students will enter the Senior Mathematics Challenge and those who score particularly well will be invited to participate in additional Olympiad rounds (BMO). Further Mathematics students also enter the UK Mathematical Olympiad for Girls (MOG) and will have the opportunity to attend seminars given by leading mathematicians on cutting-edge mathematics research and stimulating applications of mathematical topics. They may also have the opportunity to represent the school in the Hans Woyda Mathematics Competition.
For popular courses such as Economics, English Literature, History, Medicine, or Psychology, all of the competitive universities require at least grade AAA at A Level or, usually, a score of 37-39 IB points; the most competitive require A*AA (or even occasionally A*A*A) or 7 points in one or more HL subject. Universities such as Bath, Bristol, Durham, Imperial, Manchester, UCL and Warwick may also require A*AA or 7 points in an HL subject for courses in Sciences, Engineering or Mathematics; a few of these courses will require IB students to have 7 points in a specific HL Science or Mathematics and A Level students to have A* in a specific Science or Mathematics. Cambridge currently requires a minimum of A Level grades of A*AA for all Arts courses and for Psychological and Behavioural Sciences, and A*A*A for all Science courses, Computer Science and Economics. Irrespective of course, the standard IB requirement is 40-42 points, including 776 in the three Higher Level subjects. In practice, however, higher (or lower) offers are sometimes made to both A Level and IB students; these are decided on an individual basis. Oxford currently requires A Level grades of AAA for all Arts courses and for Human Sciences, A*AA for most Science courses, Economics and Management, Geography, and Psychology, Philosophy & Linguistics, and A*A*A for Chemistry, Engineering and Mathematics courses. Irrespective of course, the standard IB requirement is 38-40 points with 666-776 in the three Higher Level subjects. Unlike at Cambridge, these entry requirements are standardised across the university and are rarely raised or lowered.
In addition to the A Level Mathematics papers, there are three further examination papers taken at the end of the Upper Sixth which cover more Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics content. A Level Further Mathematics: Paper 1 Pure Mathematics (2 hours) Paper 2 Pure Mathematics (2 hours) Paper 3 Mechanics and Statistics (2 hours) The following table shows which topics will be studied in each of the three areas of Further Mathematics: Pure, Mechanics, and Statistics. A Level Further Mathematics Pure Mathematics • Proof • Complex numbers • Matrices • Further Algebra & Functions • Further Calculus • Further Vectors • Polar coordinates • Hyperbolic functions • Differential equations • Trigonometry • Coordinate Geometry Mechanics • Dimensional analysis • Momentum & Collisions • Work, Energy & Power • Circular motion • Centres of mass • Moments Statistics • Discrete random variables • Poisson distribution • Type I and Type II errors • Continuous random variables • Chi-squared tests • Exponential distribution • One sample T-test
