What the college says

If you love the challenge of mathematics and want to explore its full depth and beauty, A Level Further Mathematics at South Devon College offers the perfect opportunity to go beyond the standard curriculum. This course takes your understanding to the next level, revealing the structures, patterns and connections that underpin both pure and applied mathematics. Throughout the course, you’ll study advanced core topics that open up new areas of mathematical thinking. You’ll explore the relationships between algebra, geometry and the theory of functions, while developing new techniques to solve complex problems. Key topics include complex numbers, matrices, polar coordinates, and differential equations - essential tools for modelling change in science, engineering and beyond. You’ll also strengthen your understanding of mathematical proof, learning how to construct rigorous, logical arguments that are the foundation of higher-level mathematics. In addition to pure maths, you’ll build on your knowledge of statistics and mechanics, extending the material covered in A Level Mathematics. These applied areas help you see how mathematical principles work in real-world contexts, such as predicting trends, analysing data, or modelling forces and motion. Further Mathematics is a highly respected qualification that supports a wide range of progression routes. It’s particularly valuable if you're considering a degree in mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, economics or any
