Which areas of further maths are most relevant for computer science?

decision maths

anything else? i heard matrices are relevant too

Just wandering so i can self-study

everyone learns matrices in the core pure specification

All the matrices and some of the vectors topics (i.e. the linear algebra stuff) mainly will be directly relevant.


For students taking the A-level in England, matrices are FM only: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7f273a40f0b62305b85670/GCE_AS_and_A_level_subject_content_for_mathematics_with_appendices.pdf

I was talking about FM core pure

Vectors is Core Pure...Unless my teacher is currently teaching me some random stuff in our lessons 😂😂.

I'd say Volumes of revolution, matrices, integration and vectors. These are the chapters that are necessary for engineering and so I'd say these are the chapters that are necessary for Computer Science.

At least, these are the Further Maths things I'm preparing for my Imperial interview in 13 days time.
