Link because I thought it wasn't real at first.

    an A level math text book

    Wait a sec. Hold up. This is what everybody is pissing and shidding and cumming over being too difficult? This was baby level math I learned when I was 14, way way back many decades ago. And a huge chunk of it is absolutely essential to understanding, uh... the world.

    Then again, it's a Tory policy. By definition it's dogshit. It's probably going to teach kids how to calculate the value of a human life based on their skin colour economic value.

      I did the course. I find it very unlikely you were doing Mathematical proofs, solving and integrating recursive functions, imaginary numbers and multidimensional number planes, formulating general solutions to sequences and series, playing with arctan etc, at 14. the contents page are just very broad areas, and not an insight into the difficulty of the actual content. You do cover all of these topics to 'some' level in earlier, mandatory education.

        Right? Christ.

        People are reading the topics and not understanding there is an enormous difference in complexity of the basics of these topics and the ADVANCED level of these topics. A2 maths is absolutely advanced. All of these broad categories are also covered in GCSE to a very basic level, the difference is the complexity.
