hi i have already completed A-level maths @ grade A and am now planning to start further maths AS, i want to self teach it, is that ssensible first of all, and is the following three modules suitable as well, M2, FP1 and D1, planning to do M2 in january and FP1 and D1 in the summer.

thanks

Those modules are fine. Possibly except for M2 you shouldn't find any of them harder than the ones you've done before. If you think you could have self taught C3 or C4 you shouldn't have too much trouble.

[Mr M]

Yes that sounds fine. I assume you have already done M1.

FP1 is definitely self-teachable, as is D1.

M2 is actually a touch tricky though >_<

[deadgenius]

Avoid D1 like the plague. Well.... I hated it and I know many other people who also hated it. But apparently, there are people out there that enjoy it, and maybe you are one of them!

yep i have already done M1, 90/100, if M2 is harder what module would u recomend i take

Since you must already have done S1; you have the choice between M, S or D 2. Which you choose should depend on which you enjoyed most. I think M2 is probably the hardest; D2 the most boring; and S2 somewhere in between. While FP2 or FP3 are also options; they are dramatically harder.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES, in what sense is the D modules boring, as S1 was boring for me, does that mean D1/2 will be boring for me as well?

D1 (MEI) is just learning algorithms and definitions and applying them. If you do the work, it's fairly easy to get decent marks, but it isn't much fun. Probably the best option, though. S2 isn't much better, and FP2/M3 are a lot harder.

[tommm]

FP1, D1 and M2 is probably easier than C3, C4 and M1, or at most equally difficult. FP1 is relatively easy, M2 is just an elaboration on M1, and I haven't done D1 yet.
