What the college says

Further Mathematics is seen by employers and universities alike as a demanding subject and alongside A Level Mathematics is listed as one of the "facilitating subjects" by the Russell Group of top universities. The Further Maths course allows students to gain a wider and deeper understanding of Mathematical concepts and techniques. In the Pure modules, students develop their algebraic language with further proofs, series and equations. Decision Mathematics is introduced as a new concept in the Further Mathematics course. This part of the course is an increasingly relevant branch of Mathematics and is particularly of use to those students who wish to study Computer Programming or get involved in strategic decision making. Algorithms are studied to solve problems including how route planners and Satellite Navigation units work out the most efficient route between two locations. There is also the chance to extend the application of Maths with more advanced statistical and mechanical modelling, considering the principles of conservation of energy and momentum, as well as analysing what happens in collisions.
