One of my 11-plus questions was to prove Fermat's last theorem. I was the only one in my class to get it right.

What annoyed me was when I got to college. Bloke next to me had straight A's in 9 subjects. I was better at all subjects, just that my school did all the hard sylabuses but his did all the easy ones.

Originally posted by zeitghostI suspect that it depended on which exam board set the syllabus.
WJEC didn't have calculus as part of Maths O level.
It was part of Additional Maths O level though.
My then lady friend was doing Vectors & stuff at O level.

Now when the CV's land who are you going to interview? Locals would know the schools, but......

Originally posted by sasguruWhat is your level of maths knowledge? And do you apply any of it to your job?Originally posted by anonVery good and yes.

My maths is spot on. Can I do calculus or other "theory" maths. No.
Basic calculus used to be part of the O-level syllabus. At its most basic, it's used to work out areas and slopes of non-linear shapes (like waveforms), which has applications throughout engineering (and in finance, but not many use it there).
At what age is it introduced now?
