Yes it does, there is one algorithm which is used to find the optimum route through a network, what is it called? :confused:

it has been a year since I last looked at D1. :rolleyes:

m1 OCR was hard this year (2005 jun), if anyone did it, you'll know what I mean.

i've done a few edexcel/ocr m1 papers and they were fine, it was just this year's paper!!

I did M1 last year for AS, now i'm doing S1. And believe me when I say this, I'm dreading every second of it. :frown:

That bad? really? Do you mean as in its difficult, or boring?

Boring I'd imagine.

I did M1 and S1 last year and without revising a scraped a B in both. I reckon if you like Physics you'll like M1 but if you do S1 you'll find it easier to start of with, but then it gets harder.

Is S2 is easier than M2?

I found M1 distinctly easier and this is from someone who just doesn't like applied maths in general...
I do have an intense hatred of Stats though, so that probaby had a negative effect on my concentration levels, and thus how difficult I found it...

which one you find the easiest is down to your own abilities.

i personally think they're both as easy as each other. however S1 is exetremely boring.

When u revised well for M1 u pretty much know where u lost ur marks after an exam (after talking to ur friends lol). For S1 theres soo many little mistakes to be made. Like giving an answer to the wrong dp etc. However S1 is easyer to learn. But I prefer M1.

I'd say S1 is easier but theres more to learn. Only problem is little silly mistakes are easy to make, but you should be fine. In our college we had the choice too and i found that most the girls done S1 while the boys picked the mechanics. I did them both and theres not much between them but id prefer S1. Also S2 is easier than both M1 and S1 whch i found strange.

Asjad, neither can be totally easier to get higher UMS in, because if this was the case, everyone would do one applied subject and the exam board would need to change their specifications...it honestly depends on which you are better on...I would say if your a careful worker, S1, if more reckless i.e. just putting answers in, then M1.

And DarkEnergy, are you referring to the infamous Djikstra's algorithm?...they were fun aswell :rolleyes:

Do both!

As for S2 / M2. I am just doing both of these at the moment (for Christmas) and I and so far S2 is easier. But M2 isn't difficult so far either.

Kruskal and Prim...?

Unlike the whole Decision Maths spec., which is rather more prim than crucial...

I really hope your not going to do maths at uni, because I think for most people who do it there do the topics they want to do for their enjoyment. That's what I'm planning to do.
