External Site: Taking Maths Further Podcasts[info]
The Further Mathematics Support Programme(FMSP) is supported by the Department for Education and managed by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), an independent educational charity. The FMSP has worked with Peter Rowlett and Katie Steckles to produce a series of podcast called Taking Maths Further. Every episode takes a topic from the A level Maths or Further Maths syllabus and looks at its applications. Each episode includes an interview with someone working using related mathematics. Each podcast has an associated puzzle and further reading designed to stimulate students’ interest in mathematics outside of the curriculum. Topics have included calculus, medical imaging, statistical sampling and Boolean algebra.
