What the college says

If you are a strong and enthusiastic mathematician, then Further Maths is the course for you. Further Mathematics explores the topics introduced in A Level Mathematics to a greater depth and introduces brand new topics that do not follow on from GCSE Maths. As with A Level Mathematics, you will study topics in three areas: pure maths, mechanics and statistics. As well as deepening your mathematical knowledge, the topics you study will introduce you to mathematics as it is applied to Physics, Computer Graphics and the Statistical Sciences. Further Mathematics must be studied alongside A level Mathematics and so half your timetable will be taken up with Maths lessons. You will have two Maths classes, two sets of Maths homework and two sets of Maths exams. Please be aware that you will need to study Maths alongside Further Maths.
