Maybe try the integration required for doing physics in computer games? ;-).

That's because it's A-Level Maths.

(In reply to Hedfix's statemant about it being pointless)
It's not necessarily about it being useful in everyday life, if you learn about integration and pass your A-level Maths, you have a bigger chance of getting into a decent university. This leads to a better career and more money etc. Th
That is why.
Employers want people with experience that's applicable to situations and work in the real world.
And since when has a 'better' career and 'more money' been 100% linked?
Also there is such a thing as being over-qualified and funnily enough the people doing the hiring can feel threatened if you're more qualified to do their job than they are.
(I'm not disputing the other points :P)
