The course aims to develop a student’s skills beyond A-level Mathematics. • Students will reason, interpret and communicate mathematically. • They will solve problems within mathematics and in other contexts to broaden their mathematical experience. • A-level Further Mathematics content contains a core compulsory element (two thirds of the assessment) and a proportion of optional content allowing students to study statistics and mechanics in more depth You Students need to be confident mathematically and have good algebra skills. If you enjoy mathematics and you think you may wish to take a degree at a leading university in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or Computer Science, you should consider taking A Level Further Mathematics. Year 11 pupils should ask their Mathematics teacher to see if he/she thinks you are suited to the course. Please access the Ripley St Thomas Sixth Form courses section for more information https://ripleystthomas.com/sixth-form/courses/
Sixth Form Entry Requirements: 5 Grade 5s at GCSE including GCSE Mathematics – Grade 8. Please see specific subject requirements.
Students will take three linear exams, each of 2 hours, which are assessed at the end of the course on: Papers 1 and 2 - proof, complex numbers, matrices, further algebra and functions, further calculus, further vectors, polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions, differential equations and numerical methods. Paper 3 - Mechanics and Statistics Mechanics - dimensional analysis, momentum and collisions, work, energy and power, circular motion, centres of mass and moments. Statistics – discrete random variables, Poisson distribution, Type I and II errors, continuous random variables, Chi tests, exponential distribution, inference and confidence intervals. Students taking A Level Further Mathematics must also take A Level Mathematics.
