Further mathematics exposes students to a broader range of mathematical ideas and challenges them to a deeper understanding of the subject than is possible in a single subject course. Further mathematics makes a double subject provision possible for those who have a particular interest in mathematics. It allows students to explore a much wider array of mathematical ideas and greatly increase their breadth of mathematical understanding, something very useful for courses centred on maths at university. Topics covered in A-Level mathematics are extended and developed and new mathematical topics are introduced. It is still about solving problems and students will see how certain methods can be applied in areas like engineering, computing or economics. It is designed to let students study a wide range of options in pure mathematics, mechanics, statistics and discrete mathematics. Students will need to be very interested in mathematics and have a deep understanding of GCSE maths to consider taking this subject.
Students will need to have at least five GCSEs at Grade 4 or above including English Language and Mathematics at Level 4. To enable students to select the most appropriate subjects at A-Level we use a system based on their APS (average point score) from their GCSE results. Add together your 8 highest GCSE's and then divide by 8 to give your APS. We advise students to choose the subjects which best fit their APS.
