stemNRICH - Advanced
StemNRICH is a section of the NRICH site devoted to the mathematics underlying scientific contexts. The Advanced section contains scientific contexts and mathematical concepts typically encountered between the ages of 16 - 19 years.
Interactive Workout - Mathmo
Mathmo is a revision tool for post-16 mathematics. It's great installed as a smartphone app, but it works well in pads and desktops and notebooks too. Give yourself a mathematical workout!
Maths in the Undergraduate Physical Sciences
An article about the kind of maths a first year undergraduate in physics, engineering and other physical sciences courses might encounter. The aim is to highlight the link between particular maths topics (e.g. complex numbers) and their applications.
