The Programme
The course is aimed at those students who enjoy Mathematics, gained A - A* in their GCSE results and intend to study courses at a higher level with a great deal of Mathematical content: e.g. Engineering, Astronomy, Mathematics, Actuarial Science, Mathematical Physics. Students must have the maturity to study independently with a modest level of support.
The Programme Content
AS Further Mathematics enables students to obtain a deeper understanding of the subject by studying the compulsory module Further Pure Mathematics 1. This module covers topics such as series, complex numbers, and matrix algebra. You will gain a broader understanding of the range of mathematical subjects as the two extra applied units, Decision Mathematics and Statistics Module 1 are studied. Decision Mathematics covers topics such as algorithms, critical path analysis and linear programming. In the second year Further Pure Mathematics Modules 2 & 3 are studied together with Statistics Module 2.
