Extract

From its formation to the present time, one of the major concerns of the Committee has been the identification of a common core of mathematical knowledge that pupils with one or two A-levels in mathematics could, and should, be expected to possess. The ‘Core Syllabus in Pure Mathematics’ (published by the Association in 1968 with the support of the Schools Council) was one outcome of that concern. The first report is currently being revised, along with a companion report on Applied Mathematics (and Mathematics Applied).
