Overview
Details
Students studying this subject will explore new and ever more sophisticated concepts. Topics will include:
• Algorithms and computational maths
• Algebraic proof
• Complex numbers
• Matrices
• Summation of series
• Vector geometry
• Differential equations
Further Mathematics focuses on providing you with a deeper understanding of Maths and the course is designed to extend and challenge gifted Mathematicians. Under the expert tuition of our outstanding teachers, you will further develop your knowledge of Algebra, use techniques to optimise flow through a network, and learn how to write functions as infinitely long sums- all of which are crucial scientific concepts.
Group work and one-to-one support will help you to explore the exciting concepts within the course, helping you to take your mathematical aptitude to a higher level. Enriching experiences such as the annual ‘Maths Inspo’ conference will motivate and inspire you, helping to develop your logical, numerical and critical thinking skills.
