Further Maths

Course summary

The Edexcel Further Mathematics A-Level course is a challenging qualification, which both extends and deepens your knowledge and understanding beyond standard A-Level Mathematics. As well as learning new areas of pure mathematics, you will study mechanics, statistics and decision mathematics. If you are planning to take a degree such as Engineering, Sciences, Computing, Finance/Economics or perhaps Mathematics itself, you will benefit enormously from taking Further Mathematics. What will I learn on this course? In Year 12 you will study the following Core Pure topics: Complex Numbers, Argand Diagrams, Series, Roots of Polynomials, Volumes of Revolution, Matrices, Linear Transformations, Proof by Induction and Vectors. Then we choose two modules from: Further Statistics 1, Further Mechanics 1, Decision 1, Further Pure 1, Further Statistics 2, Further Mechanics 2, Decision 2 and Further Pure 2 to complete the Year 12 content. In Year 13 you will study the following Core Pure Topics: Further Complex Numbers, Further Series, Methods in Calculus, Further Volumes of Revolution, Polar Coordinates, Hyperbolic Functions, Methods in Differential Equations and Modelling with Differential Equations. We then continue with the two chosen modules from Year 12 and complete the Year 13 content.
