Integral for Higher Education

Integral for Higher Education is designed for undergraduates who want to review and recap topics studied at A level and are learning new topics that build on them. It helps ensure students build a solid mathematical foundation for their degree course.

Integral for Higher Education will be particularly valuable for students starting courses in 2021 who were unable to complete Year 13 due to Covid-19, and for those transitioning from foundation courses.

In developing this version for Higher Education, we’ve drawn on our extensive experience of creating resources for A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics. The result is a comprehensive set of high-quality resources, designed to engage undergraduates in self-learning, build confidence, and develop deep mathematical understanding.

Take a look at some sample resources

We've put a lot into it

  • 120sections
  • 700pages of helpful notes
  • 500crucial points
  • 1800written exercise questions
  • 1200online test questions
  • 500exam-style questions
  • 300teaching ideas and resources
  • 400interactive resources

I have reviewed all these materials – from my nearly 40 years’ teaching and supporting first year mathematical sciences students, and the past 7 years being heavily involved with the design, development, accreditation, implementation, and monitoring of the 2017 reformed A levels with DfE, ALCAB, Ofqual, RS ACME and the learned societies, I can highly recommend these resources to all relevant colleagues in your institutions.
