You'll be surprised how often you'll need quadratic equations if you go on into further and higher education doing any sort of science/computer/engineering a-level/degree. Outside of these disciplines you'll have very little use for the more advanced maths. Having said that, when are you ever going to need to know the year the first surgery was performed under general anaesthetic or the story of the Doner party? Or even the ability to critically analyse a poem?

Anyway, I've just finished my Computer Systems Engineering MEng Degree, so I'm completely finished with full-time education. 17 years is definately enough, although the last 4 years were definately the most fun.
