What the college says

A level Further Mathematics is a course for anyone wishing to study mathematics in high detail. Students will build on their A level knowledge of trigonometry, differentiation and integration, logarithms and vectors and look at new topics such as complex numbers, matrices, proof by induction and polar coordinates. Students will also look at 2 optional units to be chosen from Statistics, Mechanics and Additional Pure. The Statistics includes more statistical distributions such as Poisson, Geometric and Uniform. Then students will analyse bi-variate data sets by looking at correlation and regression lines. On the Mechanics side, students will investigate new topics such as circular motion, work, energy and power and centres of mass. The Additional Pure element looks at recurrence relations, modular arithmetic, types of groups and partial differentiation.
