About

You will learn to develop an understanding of the rigour and technical accuracy needed for more advanced study of mathematics. You will learn basic concepts in kinematics, statics and dynamics which underlie the study of mechanics and you will become more adept in the skills of statistical analysis.

What will I learn?

Complex Numbers
Roots and coefficients of polynomial equations up to quartic equations
Matrices
Proof by induction
Geometrical problems
Sums of series
Maclaurin series including awareness of validity
Vectors
Calculus
Integration where integrand extends to infinity
Volumes of revolution
Mean value of a function
Integration
Polar coordinates including area enclosed by polar curve
Hyperbolic functions
First and Second Order differential equations
Simple harmonic motion equation

Where could this subject take me?

Further mathematics introduces new topics such as matrices and complex numbers that are vital in many STEM degrees.

If you are planning to take a degree such as engineering, sciences, computing, or economics, or perhaps mathematics itself, you may benefit from taking further mathematics, at least to AS level.
