Further Decision Mathematics

So you want to learn Further Decision Maths...

Follow the links below to the topic you are interested in, or explore the full range in the textbooks in the bottom section.

Year 1 topics:

Year 2 topics:

Further graphs and networks (Planarity and Floyd's algorithms, Travelling salesman problem and Further critical path analysis)
Further linear programming (Simplex algorithm and variations)

New textbooks:

The following textbook is based on the decision content for Further Maths in the new specification. The textbook covers all material for both Year 1 and 2 - the Year 2 material is highlighted by a yellow dot in the contents page (this will not be required knowledge if you are only sitting AS Further Maths). You can find short answers at the end of each document, plus full worked solutions in the SolutionBank below. Enjoy!

Decision 1 (new spec) - SolutionBank

[Correction: Topic 3.5: Floyd's algorithm is Year 2 material, although is not marked by a yellow dot in the contents.]

Old textbooks:

The following textbooks are based on the further pure content in the old specification. They will provide a good starting point for extra worked examples and practice questions, but be aware that there is not a perfect crossover with the new specification! Read the specification on the course page or check with your teacher if you are unsure which topics you should be revising.

Warning: The Further Maths specification has changed a lot more than the normal Maths specification, so you will need to be particularly careful when using these books! Much of the content covered in the two years can be found split between the different books, but some of the material is completely new to the course and therefore not covered in these sources.
