Why study this course
Further Maths is a subject that builds upon A Level Maths and goes into greater depth and complexity. It can help you develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and prepare you for university-level maths courses. It can also open up more opportunities for careers in fields such as engineering, finance, and computer science.
Studying A level Further Mathematics is excellent preparation for a degree in Mathematics. Mathematical and statistical problem solving, data analysis and interpretation skills are all developed through the study of A-level Maths and are considered valuable in a broad range of subject areas Many university maths departments encourage students to take Further Mathematics at A level as it introduces a wider range of pure and applied content, such as matrices and complex numbers. Students who study A Level Further Maths will study it with A Level Maths at Claremont High School as it allows students to delve deeper into these concepts and techniques.
