Further Mathematics About the course
The Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level Further Mathematics broadens and deepens the Mathematics covered in Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level Mathematics. The syllabus is intended for high ability learners who have achieved, or are likely to achieve, a high grade in the Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level Mathematics examination. Learners will find that the additional time spent studying Further Mathematics will support their understanding of A Level Mathematics. Learners will develop a range of transferable skills to enable them to respond with confidence to the demands of undergraduate study and the world of work. Learners can apply these skills across a wide range of subjects and these skills equip them well for progression to higher education or directly into employment. Some universities prefer applicants for degrees in mathematics and mathematical/scientific subjects to have an IAS or IAL Further Mathematics or equivalent qualification. Just like Mathematics, learners will be encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and mathematical development. They will use their knowledge and skills to apply mathematics to real-life situations, solve unstructured problems and use mathematics as an effective means of communication.
