Ant was already replaced and Maven is nowhere. Wh…

This is a serious problem and the Foundation shares the Secretary of State’s view that: “…within a decade the vast majority of pupils [should be] studying maths right through to the age of 18.”1 One way of addressing this issue is to consider what kinds of free-standing mathe…
