What the college says

A-level Further Mathematics is made up of six units. Many combinations of units are allowed for AS and A-level Further Mathematics. There are three Further Pure units available, of which at least two must be studied. The other units are selected from any of the applied units listed for A-level Mathematics. The Further Pure units build upon the techniques in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and Calculus developed from the Pure Core units as well as introducing topics such as complex numbers, matrices, proof, hyperbolic functions, polar coordinates and differential equations. Further Maths is really designed to prepare students for degree level Mathematics, Engineering and Science. It introduces them a different skill set in how to present Mathematical arguments formally as well as exposing them to a wider range of Mathematical concepts and techniques.
