UPDATED 20161020 13:18:38

(Further Mathematics is a challenging A Level qualification which both broadens and deepens the work covered in A Level Mathematics. Those students who are especially keen on Mathematics and are looking to study a mathematics-rich degree at university should consider taking A Level Further Mathematics. Students will need to study for the full A Level in Mathematics in Year 12 and then study the A Level in Further Mathematics in Year 13. Which units will I study for Further Mathematics? In Year 13 you will study 4 units. Papers 1 and 2 contain compulsory units: Paper 1 Further Pure Mathematics 1 Paper 2 Further Pure Mathematics 2 Papers 3 and 4 contain optional units: Paper 3 Select one from: Further Pure Mathematics 3 Further Statistics 1 Further Mechanics 1 Decision Mathematics 1 Paper 4 Select one from: Further Pure Mathematics 4 Further Statistics 1 Further Mechanics 1 Decision Mathematics 1 Any student planning to take a mathematics-rich degree (this covers a very wide range of academic areas - Engineering, Sciences, Computing, Finance/Economics, etc., as well as Mathematics itself) will benefit enormously from taking A Level Further Mathematics. Further Mathematics introduces students to a varied range of new topics, such as: Compulsory units: Further Pure Mathematics Complex numbers, Polar Coordinates, Matrices, Proof, Differential Equations, Vectors, Calculus and Hyperbolic functions. Optional units: Further Pure Mathematics Coordinate Systems, Further Vectors, Further Calculus, Further Differential Equations, Further Numerical Methods and Inequalities. Statistics Correlation, Linear Regression, Discrete and Continuous Statistical Distributions, Hypothesis Testing, Chi Squared Tests Mechanics Momentum and Impulse, Collisions, Centres of Mass, Work and Energy, Elastic Strings and Springs Decision Mathematics Algorithms and Graph Theory, Algorithms on Graphs, Critical Path Analysis, Linear Programming.)
