This course is taken in addition to Mathematics and is for those that both enjoy and are good at the subject. Although the content ranks among the hardest A Level courses, it is recognised that its similarity to single Mathematics makes the course a common fourth or even fifth option for strong students. Further Mathematics will both broaden and deepen a student's understanding of mathematics and covers some key mathematical concepts that are not part of the single Mathematics A Level. As students will be keen mathematicians there is also some scope for looking a little beyond the specification. Further Mathematics is a hugely rewarding yet very challenging course that requires organisation and dedication. Many of the key concepts studied, such as matrices and complex numbers, are integral to a deeper understanding of mathematics and its modern uses.
