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.

A stimulating and useful resource for maths students, of all levels and abilities, Plus Magazine presents articles and podcasts about all aspects of mathematics, from the theoretical and philosophical to practical applications in cosmology, art, engineering, medicine and sport. There are also news articles and puzzles. The podcasts cover a broad range of subjects, including interviews and conference reports, as well as more in-depth features on a diverse range of subjects, including how gravity works, the ten dimensions of string theory and the weird and wonderful story of the Gomboc: a look at a three dimensional object which until recently no-one knew even existed.
Plus is part of the Millennium Mathematics Project, a long term national initiative based at Cambridge University which aims to help people of all ages and abilities achieve a better understanding of mathematics and appreciate the range and importance of its applications to science and commerce.
