Maybe I'll see you there then You'll (hopefully ) be going in Sept 2013 yeah? What are you applying for? I'll probably go for Combined Honours (not sure if Arts or SocSci though)
lol yess. you're going to apply there too? what are your other choices? i want to go in for criminology and sociology.
It's literally just that - further study of Maths, heading into more advanced stuff. It's normally required for courses like Maths, and often preferred for things like Physics/Econ

so then you dont have a particular math subject class, but rather just a blend of all of them?

What do you mean? We have classes for Maths A-level, and separate ones for Further Maths A-level.
Within those courses, you take multiple modules, e.g. Core modules, which involve calculus, series etc. Mechanics modules (gravity equations etc.), Statistics, Decision Maths etc. and your teachers will split up teaching time for each module (you normally study 1-2 at a time, alternating between lessons, and double if you do F. Maths as well).

oh i get it. i just meant that like, here, we take one math class a year, and its only one subject, for example, last year, i only took calculus, and thats all our focus was on, we didnt learn any other maths.

Wow really? Just one focus in maths for the whole year? That must get quite boring I know Calculus is a large subject but on the Maths and Further Maths courses in the UK, there are lots of modular sets and each one is a 'focus' if you like. You then take that module in an exam to test your proficiency to then be all 'added' up in the end to attain your final grade in maths/further maths. Well at least thats how I think it works I haven't myself started those A-Level courses as I'm just heading into lower sixth form. Still, I got drawn to this topic as I'm looking to study overseas if possible at CalTech as it looks like a great university with lots of plus sides such as a good education, close relation to NASA (I want to study either astrophysics or aeronaughtical engineering) and it's in california so the Surf is great It's all wrapped into one great package however there are a lot of cons to further education in America as I now see...

hahaha you surf? lol well there's pro and cons to everything, you just have to decide what is best for you. i live in california, but im not even applying to any universities here.

Yeah I surf when I can, do you? I want to hopefully go to America at least in a university exchange at the least if in the end the money gets to be too much. And like Brendy said, It all depends on what you like, what you want to study etc and then if you're passionate enough, go for it.

lol i can't surf well, but i think you've got a good idea. (: spending time in any country besides your own would definitely be interesting.
