Just make snarky comments.

Did you have a question? I could only see Zacken's OP.

Thank you! And don't put yourself down like that, you're starting A-Level maths, which literally stands for "Advanced"-level maths, so you do have the brain for it!

And in terms of resources, the only thing I've ever used for A-Level Maths and Further Maths is examsolutions.net, I used it to teach myself the entirety of those two subjects and did rather well, considering. So have a look at that site, sit back and watch a few videos. You'll get the hang of it.

You mean spiral binding? How do I even do that lol?


Go to your local library or a stationary shop or something along those lines.
To be fair in the first sentence of the thread it says
This thread should serve as an interactive resource to help people bridge the gap to undergraduate mathematics.

And later

That said, we should aim to avoid discussing A-level material as well as topics from postgraduate courses as these will be of little interest to the majority of people participating in this thread.

I just found some... interesting integrals. Some of them might take me a while. :smile:

Those will be a good starter - although admittedly on the easier and "exercise"-y side rather than problem solving. Still, good way to start out. You can migrate to these once you've picked up some confidence with integration. :smile:

I understand that this thread is mainly for those bridging the gap from a-level to undergraduate but it's not as if I've dropped the question on a thread about undergraduate mathematics.

Anyway, Zacken has so nicely and kindly answered my question and I have no wish to derail the thread
This is a thread about undergraduate mathematics lol.

What do you think Groups, V&M and all the other courses we were talking about are?

Hahaha, good point. I quite liked it nevertheless. :tongue:

And on that note, people, try this:

Unparseable latex formula:

\displaystyle \[br]\begin{equation*}\int_0^{\frac{ \pi}{2}} x\cot x \, \mathrm{d}x\end{equation*}

I'm not debating with you but the OP did say that the thread is not exclusive and that everyone is welcome. Anyway, I will not clog up your thread any further, don't worry

ffs you make it look so welcoming and then it turns out to be mean

i should have suspected
Looks at integral *scoffs*
*After a little bit of fiddling*
Aaand back to square one

How so? Neither one of those has a nice anti-derivative.
