Students taking Further Mathematics find it to be an enjoyable, rewarding, stimulating and empowering experience. It both extends and deepens your knowledge and understanding beyond the standard A Level Mathematics. Students taking Further Maths find that the additional time spent studying mathematics boosts their marks in single Mathematics. Some prestigious universities require you to have a Further Maths qualification and others may adjust their grade requirements more favourably to students with Further Mathematics. Further Mathematics is an A Level qualification which both broadens and deepens the mathematics covered in A Level Mathematics. At the end of the course students get an A Level in Maths and an A Level in Further Maths. In 2014 all pupils in the Further Maths class achieved an A* grade in Further Maths. In 2015 all but one pupil achieved an A or A*. Mathematics is a universal part of human culture. It is the tool and language of commerce, engineering and other sciences - Physics, Computing, Biology etc. Mathematics is about pattern and structure; it is about logical analysis, deduction, calculation within these patterns and structures. When patterns are found, often in widely different areas of science and technology, the mathematics in these patterns can be used to explain and control natural happenings and situations. Mathematics has a pervasive influence on our everyday lives.
