What You Will Study

This course builds on the knowledge of A Level Mathematics and involves the further study of pure mathematics as well as optional units of statistics, mechanics or working with algorithms. This course builds on the knowledge of A Level Mathematics and involves the further study of pure mathematics as well as optional units of statistics, mechanics or working with algorithms. Further maths provides a great opportunity for enthusiastic mathematicians to broaden and deepen their subject knowledge. You will study a variety of topics based around three overarching themes (core pure, statistics and modelling with algorithms). You will focus on mathematical argument, language and proof, problem solving and modelling as well as vectors and 3-D space, algebra, series, calculus, sampling, networks and linear programming. You will have the opportunity to attend trips to inspire you and enhance your passion for the subject. The Maths Inspiration trip to Cambridge allows you to see the wider applications of the subject. We also attend a Mathematical symposium in Norwich where you get the opportunity to be inspired by outstanding external speakers. If you achieve excellent grades in GCSE Maths and are planning to apply for a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related degree, then this course is an ideal choice. This course goes well with any Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics related subject. You will be assessed through three written exam papers that focus on pure maths, statistics and modelling with algorithms
