Further Mathematics A Level

Getting Ahead

Further Mathematics A Level at Havant Campus

All Further Maths students also study Single Maths A level. The Single Mathematics content is completed first, before studying the Further Maths material. Therefore, in preparation for starting the course in September, it is more important that you complete the Single Maths content first, before turning to the activities on this page. The activities included here are mainly for enrichment purposes.
You should seriously consider taking Further Mathematics if you intend to study Mathematics at degree level. It is also a great A Level to do if you are very good at mathematics and you really enjoy it!

In Further Mathematics A Level we use matrices to do simple 3D transformations. We also use them to solve simultaneous equations. Matrices are used in many technical subjects including Economics and Computer Graphics and you will need to understand their use if you go on to study subjects such as Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry at university.

Although the following work is no longer a large part of the Further Maths course it is still good practice with problem solving. It will be particularly of interest for participating in Mathematics challenges (eg The British Maths Olympiad BMO) or University entrance exams  (STEP or TMUA). Please read and follow this live document Permutations and Combination to get a glimpse of this interesting topic.”
