It is a challenging qualification, which both extends and deepens your knowledge and understanding beyond the standard of A-Level Maths. Half of the content of this will be Further Pure and the remainder will be application of mathematics in Further Mechanics and Decision Mathematics.

The A-Level Further Maths course will further develop your knowledge of pure maths, including new concepts such as matrices, complex numbers, hyperbolic functions, polar coordinates and differential equations. WHAT NEXT? Studying maths helps you develop skills in logical thinking and statistical or strategic knowledge, which are valued by employers. Higher education courses or careers that require mathematics or are strongly related include: In Further Mechanics you will study momentum and impulse, solve problems involving motion under a variable resistance and learn about elastic collisions in one dimension.

In Decision Maths you will learn about algorithms and the graph theory, route inspection problems, critical path
