further math a level

im in yr 11 and i wanted to start doing further maths revision for year 12but idk what topic to start doing first. Idk whether to start on stigma stuff or complex numbers idk does anyone know? im doing aqa spec at my sixth form next year

i don't think this happens at all schools, but in mine, we finish all of a level maths and then do further maths. So maybe go over maths first?

i was doing revision for both but should i not?
Does your school teach them both at the same time?
My school does them both at the same time and tbf you can learn alot of year 1 further maths without needing to know a level maths.even so I recommend at least finishing as level maths before starting as level FM

complex numbers is the first and easiest topic, so start with that (atleast for me).

complex numbers, argand diagrams, series, roots of polynomials, volumes of revolution, matrices, linear transformation, proof by induction and vectors is the order. but for some topics you need to know AS maths, e.g. for volumes of revolution you should learn integration first

The textbooks areprobably the best resource you can use for maths and FM but there is no point buying them as your school may provide you free access to them. There are loads of websites like pmt, madasmaths and others though

Further pure 1 and mechanics. If you do physics, further mechanics is quite similar. And, of course, we dont speakabout stats here.
