A level Further Mathematics must be combined with A level Mathematics and cannot be studied alone. A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics are taught in parallel throughout year 12 and year 13, incorporating a mixture of direct teaching and independent study. The course is designed for those who have a passion for mathematics and enjoy studying the subject. Studying the course will ensure you stand out from the crowd when applying for university or jobs as it will allow you to demonstrate you possess highly sought after skills that have been developed to a high level. The breakdown of this course is shown below. The two option papers are most likely to be those listed below (3 and 4), but may vary depending upon the interests of the group and skills base, 1) Further pure mathematics one . Topics will include proof, complex numbers, matrices, further algebra and functions, further calculus and further vectors. 2) Further pure mathematics two . Further techniques involving complex numbers, algebra and functions, calculus, polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions, and differential equations. 3) Further mathematics options one: Further Statistics . Topics include Poisson and binomial distributions, hypothesis testing, central limit theorem, chi squared tests, probability generating functions. 4) Further mathematics option two: Further Mechanics . Momentum and impulse, collisions, centres of mass, work and energy, elastic strings and springs.
