What the college says

Running alongside A level Mathematics, the Further Mathematics course is for those with a clear enthusiasm and desire to go beyond the topics of A level Mathematics and to improve the depth and breadth of their mathematical knowledge. It is ideal for those aiming to study mathematics or science-based subjects at university such as Engineering, Finance/Economics or Computing. The course expands on material covered in A level mathematics, and introduces new concepts such as complex numbers, matrices, hyperbolic functions and polar coordinates. As well as a more indepth look at some of the more abstract ideas in mathematics, you will have the opportunity to specialise in two areas of applied mathematics mechanics and decision maths. Decision maths has particularly strong links to computing and creating algorithms.
