What will I learn? You will study two Further Mathematics modules, FP1 and FP2, as well as four further applied modules, the choice of which depends on what you have already selected at A-Level. The Further Mathematics modules content includes: • Complex numbers and Coordinate systems • Series, include finite, Maclaurin and Taylor and Matrix Algebra • Numerical solutions of equations and Proof by mathematical induction The applied content depends on which combination of modules you choose from: Statistics and Mechanics or Decision mathematics You will be expected to: • Use mathematical skills and knowledge to solve problems • Understand and demonstrate what is meant by proof in mathematics • Solve real life problems using mathematical logic and argument What skills do I need? Mathematics is rather different from many other subjects. An essential part is the challenge of analysing and solving a problem and the satisfaction and confidence gained from achieving a ‘correct’ answer. For students wishing to follow this course, a grade A (or better) in Higher GCSE Mathematics is required. How is the course graded? For A Level Further Mathematics you will take an extra six modules. Each module is tested by a written examination. All units are equally weighted. Contact provider for more information as this may not be up to date course information
