Further Mathematics

Course summary

This course is suitable for students who enjoyed Mathematics at GCSE Level and having gained strong mathematical skills wish to study the subject in greater depth. The course mainly concerns itself with developing the more abstract and algebraic ideas introduced at GCSE, although it does include some applications of mathematics. In simple terms, we put an emphasis on algebra, graphs, number patterns and trigonometry. You will be actively involved in developing mathematical ideas. The problems used arise from, and relate to, everyday life. You will develop skills using modern technology such as computers and graphical calculators. This course is suitable for students who achieve an 8 or 9 in GCSE Mathematics, and particularly those who have studied the Further Mathematics Level 2 qualification at GCSE.
