2. Course description Summary: Further Mathematics is a course that broadens and deepens the maths covered in the A Level in Mathematics. Course description: Further Mathematics is studied alongside the A Level in Mathematics. When you study Further Mathematics at A Level, you will not only learn new mathematical skills, but will also apply them to solving problems. You will see how the subject can be used to show what is happening and what might happen in different real life situations. The Further Mathematics course includes further study of modules in core (pure) mathematics, plus statistics and/or mechanics. Core mathematics extends your knowledge of topics such as; algebra, trigonometry and geometry as well as learning some new ideas such as calculus. These ideas are interesting in their own right, but they also serve as a foundation for other work you will do. In statistics you will learn how to analyse and summarise numerical data to arrive at conclusions and predictions about it. Mechanics describes mathematically the motion of objects and how they respond to forces acting on them. Many of the ideas studied here form an introduction to modern fields of study such as robotics and biomechanics, as well as the more traditional ones of engineering and physics. Objective: This course will develop your mathematical ability and introduce you to new topics, which are vital if you are intending to study a mathematics degree. Assessment: There is a total of six modules to be completed. Assessment is mainly through written examinations, although there is also a small amount of coursework.
