Further Mathematics<br />
Overview<br />
This course is for pupils who love mathematics. Pupils<br />
taking either double (AS and A2 in both Mathematics<br />
and Further Mathematics) or 1.5 (A2 Mathematics<br />
with AS Further Mathematics) will work at an<br />
accelerated pace through the Mathematics A level<br />
syllabus and then progress on to the Further<br />
Mathematics modules.<br />
Approach<br />
This is a fast paced course and pupils are expected to<br />
ensure that they develop a very good understanding<br />
of each topic as it is covered; there is little time for<br />
extensive revision. Pupils will also be exposed to a<br />
variety of extra-curricular topics, such as the history<br />
of mathematics and discussions about recent<br />
discoveries. All pupils will be entered in the UKMT<br />
Senior Mathematics Challenge and there are<br />
opportunities to prepare for the British Mathematical<br />
Olympiad. We also train a squad from which a<br />
team is picked for the Senior Team Challenge.<br />
