24 Further Mathematics A Level Further Mathematics A Level is an exciting and intellectually demanding course that extends beyond the standard Mathematics A Level syllabus. You will explore advanced concepts in algebra, calculus, and matrices, developing a deeper understanding of mathematical structures and methods. The core modules introduce complex numbers, differential equations, and further calculus, pushing your problem-solving and analytical skills to new levels. Decision mathematics focuses on algorithms, graph theory, and optimisation - essential tools in computing, logistics, and management. Further Mathematics encourages logical thinking, precision, and creativity in tackling abstract and applied problems. This course is ideal for students who enjoy mathematical challenges and want to deepen their knowledge, providing a strong foundation for university-level study in mathematical and technical disciplines. Course Overview This A Level qualification is linear which means students will sit all exams at the end of their course in Year 13. Students sit four ninety-minute exams at the end of Year 13, each paper is calculator based and carries equal weighting. Papers 1 and 2: Core – Complex Numbers, Matrices, Differential Equations, Further Calculus, Vectors Papers 3 and 4: Decision – Graph Theory, Game Theory, Linear Programming. Travelling Salesperson Problem Assessment Further Mathematics enhances your opportunities in highly mathematical fields such as engineering, physics, economics, and computing. It is particularly beneficial for university courses requiring strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Employers value the logical reasoning and quantitative abilities it develops, making it an excellent choice for careers in research, technology, finance, and data science. Where could it take you? Entry Requirements A minimum of 5 grades 9-4 at GCSE including English and Maths. A minimum grade 8 or above in GCSE Maths is required.
