Further Mathematics

Course summary

Course Content: This course needs to come completed alongside the Mathematics A-Level. This course builds on the knowledge you have already gained from GCSE Maths and the knowledge you are gaining from the A-Level Mathematics course to go further into abstract concepts. In Further Mathematics you will study Core Pure and Applied modules. All students will have to complete Core Pure 1 which includes: Proof, Complex numbers, Matrices, Further algebra and functions, Further Calculus, Further Vectors. In addition to this, students need to take two of the following four options. We will confirm what optional courses will be available at a later date but they fall into the following four categories. Further Pure: Vectors, Conic Sections, Further algebra and functions, Further calculus and numerical methods. Further Statistics: Linear regressions, Statistical Distributions (Discrete and Continuous), more hypothesis testing, Chi squared tests and sampling accuracy. Decision Mathematics: Algorithms and graph theory, Algorithms on graphs, Critical Path Analysis and Linear programming. Further Mechanics: Moments, Work and energy, Elastic strings and springs, Elastic collisions. Progression: Further mathematics is considered to be a prestigious qualification by all universities. It may be particularly useful to any students considering studying Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering or any other numerate degree at one of the UK’s leading universities.
