Further Maths

EXAM SPECIFICATION: Edexcel 9FM0 https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-a-levels/mathematics-2017.html#%2Ftab-AlevelFurtherMathematics

Further Mathematics is designed for the most able mathematicians in the country!

If you were a grade 9 student at GCSE, then this may interest you.

Further Maths takes the normal A-Level in Maths to new depths. We will extend on the content covered in the A-Level such as differentiation, integration and vectors and explore them in order to prepare you for university studies in Maths or Engineering based courses.

We study the K0 option, which means you will study some Mechanics as well.
