Hi i've applied for mech eng at uni and have received offers, ignore sig not updated xd.

So i was wondering if i take up further maths(just as) now and take the 3 exams in june will i be advantaged at uni rather than just having a-level maths

Also if i did take fm(as) am i allowed to do 3 Fp modules, fp1,fp2,fp3 or do i have to do fp1,fp2, and an applied module i'd most likely do m2.

FP1 FP2 FP3 in 5 months is incredibly difficult. Do FP1 with M1 and D1/S1 instead. Its much easier.

I've done c1c2m1 and am doing c3c4s1 for a2 so how would fp1 fp2 m2 be?

What did you get for Physics? If you got an A then I'd say FP1, M2 and D1 would be brilliant.

Didnt/dont do physics !, my alevels in sig below

Mech Eng without Physics??

Well do M2 anyway if you liked M1.

fP1 FP2 M2 in 5months it is =D

D1 is easier than FP2 man, by faaaaaar.

Do as many Mechanics modules as you can, they're what will help you most. FP1/2/3 aren't particularly relevant for Engineering. You'd be much better off learning the stuff for M2/3/4. You needn't bother taking the exams seeing as you already have your offers, so F.Maths won't be part of any offer.

depends if you've already done c3 n c4,, fp3 and fp2 require prior c3, n c4 knowledge, i think itd be better for you to do, fp1, m2 and another unit, maybe m3 if your college does that

Officially my college hasn't started teaching c4 yet as of c3 exam on monday think we are going to start 2weeks later after finishing s1 but i've already done 80% of c4 half angle trig, the vectors partial fractions etc....

how about fp3, which is differential equations mainly is that relevant to engineering or not really?

and no my college doesnt do m3

This is not a valid combination if he wants a certificate.

And mechanical engineers will work with complex numbers and differential equations on a daily basis.

[Miss Pedantic]

You only need FP1 as part of AS, the rest can be any combination you want. I'd go with M2, FP1 and S2. FP2 is quite difficult.

Yes, but it would be more useful to him at university, and he doesn't really need a certificate seeing as he already has the offer.

what would be a valid combination for a certificate?

1 Applied 2 FP Modules?
2 Applied 1 FP Module?

I am doing Fp1 fp2 fp3 d1 m2 in june for further math. My school is finishing it for me with 12 hours of math lessons every week from 19th jan ....u can do it...do some applied units and get 100 in it then u can get away with a B in fp1 fp2

I don't agree - FP1 would be particularly useful.

yes

[spex]

I would do the stuff with differential equations and complex numbers. FP1 and FP2 and DE depending on which exam board you're with. The relevant mechanics can be learnt later but you'd need a better grounding in pure than applied maths imo.

That's a hard combination but easily doable in 5 months. I'm doing DE M4 FP3 and D2 for june :p

[explosions hurt]

Do D1, it is basically dot-to-dot, and the hard stuff has been taken out and moved to D2.
