Overview
What is an imaginary number? Why can we achieve higher acceleration at lower speeds than at higher speeds? What is the difference between Maths and Further Maths? Further Mathematics is designed to extend the knowledge acquired at GCSE in more abstract and complicated ways than A Level Mathematics allows for.
If you are thinking of taking Mathematics or Engineering courses at University, then Further Mathematics is always useful and can sometimes be a requirement.
The new Edexcel Further Mathematics A Level consists of four papers of equal credit, taken at the end of
year 13
