Further Maths A Level

Further Maths broadens and deepens the mathematical knowledge and skills developed when studying A-level Maths. This exciting course will introduce you to imaginary numbers, matrices and hyperbolic functions.

A-level Further Maths goes deeper into mathematics than A-level Mathematics, which it may be studied alongside. You will investigate where elements of mathematics come from and gain a rich understanding of complex concepts in the mathematical world.

The course will include both pure and applied maths and statistics, covering topics including linear algebra, differential equations, numerical methods, graph theory, network theory, critical path analysis, probability distributions and hypothesis testing. Students will be able to apply complex mathematical ideas and concepts to real life situations, such as business and finance.

Students are given a great deal of responsibility over their learning and are expected to study and revise in their own time. You will have plenty of opportunities to add to your knowledge with maths trips and competitions.

The course consists of Pure Mathematics and two applied topics from Statistics, Mechanics or Discrete Maths.

5 GCSEs Level 9-4.

You need to get a Grade 8+ or above at GCSE maths

People who study Further Maths go on to a range of courses in the future, it is a must for anyone planning on studying degree level Mathematics or those that are strongly mathematically related such as Engineering.
