Do you want to learn calculus and matrices now? quickly?

that's tough

calculus for further maths gcse is just differentiation: finding the gradient function

matrices are a way to lay out and solve equations using [ ]

hope this helps.

PS u should probably know this already if you are going to be sitting the exams this year!

A matrix is an array of numbers that often represent graphical transformations. Matrices are more than one matrix.

Calculus is the branch of mathematics that deals with analysis of functions, usually by taking infinitesimal differences or sums over a range, i.e. integration and differentiation.

Calculus is always fairly cool.
Matrices are pretty boring at GCSE FM.
Good luck :smile:!
