Course Content
Mathematics develops your skills in analysis and challenges you to think rigorously. It trains you to identify the important aspects of any problem and to work logically to find a solution. If you enjoy Mathematics, the Fast Track Mathematics course will provide a challenge and a chance to explore new and more sophisticated mathematical concepts, such as complex numbers, polar co-ordinates, hyperbolic functions and matrices. Topics met in the single A Level Mathematics course (such as calculus and its applications, vectors and proof) are extended in Further Mathematics.
During the first year you will quickly complete AS Mathematics and then study a wide variety of topics from both AS Further Mathematics and A Level Mathematics. Topics will include pure maths – algebra calculus, matrices and complex numbers – statistics, mechanics and modelling with algorithms. In the second year you will complete the AS Further Mathematics and A Level Mathematics syllabuses.
Entry Requirements
A minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 4 (grade C) or above with a grade 8 (grade A*) or above in GCSE Mathematics.
A Level Fast Track Mathematics & Further Mathematics
You will have a choice as to whether to continue with your studies and take A Level Further Mathematics as well. As classes are very small, the second year Further Mathematics optional modules will be selected to suit the interests and skills of the students in the class.
Other A Levels
Mathematics and Further Mathematics combine well with any other subject, particularly the Sciences, Social Sciences, Business and Computer Science.
