The FMSP has developed some exciting new resources for schools, colleges, universities and students.
Further Mathematics Video
With the help of Chris Budd and several students, the FMSP have produced a new video to promote Further Mathematics. This can be viewed on their website at http://www.furthermaths.org.uk/student_area/whystudyfm3.php . It will soon also be available on the Maths Careers website at http://www.mathscareers.org.uk/ . Copies of the leaflet featured in the video (as well as other leaflets and posters) are available free of charge - see http://www.furthermaths.org.uk/leaflets.php for details.

maths grads
"more maths grads" is a three-year £3.3 million programme funded by HEFCE,
designed to increase and widen participation in undergraduate degrees
in the mathematical sciences. It will operate through four key themes:
increasing awareness of career opportunities; helping school students
to find more enjoyment and fulfilment in studying mathematics; increasing
and developing teachers' enjoyment and confidence in mathematics; and
development of aspects of the higher education curriculum. It will do
all this in three areas of the country for the three years, with a view
to national coverage later.
