Good question...well...differentiation, integration (limited to "easy functions" and "easy substitutions"), complex numbers (no exponential form(!) ) and complex loci, conic sections, stats (without any calculus(!) ), trig equations, arithmetic and geometric sums and....that's pretty much it! (If I missed anything it wouldn't be much)

There's no way I can possibly pass STEP if I didn't take that extra university courses basically... That uni course merely brought me on par with you UK maths students :cool:

(It's scary to see that some of the "second year uni" stuff here is in the FP2/FP3 syllabus)

Yeah but the "calculus" course is the only core maths course available. The full name is "mathematics with calculus". (The other one is just stats)
