Does further-mathematics predict students’ performance physics? A correlational diagnosis of three years secondary education

The awareness and application of the knowledge of Further Mathematics transcends the boundary of Physics as a discipline. The application of further mathematics in physics and vice versa is evident in the curriculum and literature. This study explores the attrition between physics and further-mathem...
