Further Maths is a second Maths A-level, and involves the study of a further 6 modules including at least two Further Pure modules. At Duff Miller we teach FP1 (Further Pure 1), FP3, D1 (Decision Maths), D2, S2 (Statistics) and M2 (Mechanics).
Some students may choose Further Maths as an AS level, in which case they study FP1 and 2 new Applications modules.
Students who study both Maths and Further Maths (commonly called Double Maths) are usually looking to do a highly-mathematical course at university, such as Engineering, Physics or Maths itself. For many other university courses Double Maths would be considered to be too much Maths, unless Further Maths is a fourth A-level.
