Mathematics is amongst the most fascinating of intellectual disciplines, you will be introduced to some of the most important thinking that people have undertaken. Further maths can only be studied in conjunction with any of the other maths courses. Please refer to the separate subject areas A-level : Mathematics with either Statistics, Mechanics or Decision Maths for more information on these courses. Each course comprises six modules: Further Mathematics - 3 core modules and 3 applied modules; Mathematics - 4 core modules and 2 applied modules. Further Mathematics - As well as examining some core topics in more depth, you will also be introduced to 'Decision Mathematics', which among other things, considers problems associated with networks (e.g. maps). A satnav finds the most efficient route between two points and decision maths looks at the algorithms behind such operations. Core Mathematics - This closely examines topics such as algebra, trigonometry and geometry, which you will be familiar with from GCSE. You will extend your skills in these topics and be introduced to others which will be new to you, such as calculus which is one of the most important areas of mathematics. Mathematics is a highly regarded discipline and universities and employers place a high value on A-level Maths. It is important that you carefully consider which course is best for you. If you are thinking of studying Biology or Chemistry, Geography, Psychology or Sociology, then Maths with Statistics is highly appropriate, since all of these subjects require the analysis of patterns using statistical techniques. Maths with mechanics is also highly suitable for science students and complements physics particularly well. If you are thinking of a career in medicine, architecture, accountancy, business, actuarial work, engineering or scientific research, then a background in mathematics will be extremely beneficial to you.
Name: A Level : Further Mathematics Qualification title: GCE A Level in Further Mathematics Qualification type: Assessment All examination papers last 1hr 30mins. All papers have an equal weighting for the A-level. In the case of Further Mathematics, you will sit three exams in the first year, and three in the second year for the full A-level During the A-Level Mathematics course you will take the Core 1 and Applied 1 examinations in the first year. In the second year you will take the Core 2, 3 and 4 and Applied 2 examinations. Unit C1 is a non-calculator paper, for all other unit examinations, calculators can be used.
