Maths Qualifications

Agree with Mr. M; can't understand someone wanting to do three A-Levels worth of maths and not consider dropping some of the other subjects.

And there is no way you could understand a PhD thesis in fluid dynamics without even doing A-Level maths. Having done a non-research thesis, it took me a year to understand some of the basic papers in my field. It's great to have ambition but in maths it's very important to get a good foundation so you can really understand what's going on when it gets more advanced

Can I suggest you prioritise a basic English qualification ahead of one in advanced maths?

In this thread you have used their for there, bored for board and cleaver for clever.

The thing is I love to learn and yes i know 'you only need 4 a levels' but i really want to understand everything and anything. I grew up with my cousin doing maths so i understand a lot true i don't know everything in his thesis but i know enough to get by.

Choose 4 A levels (5 if you must) and study them properly

Do not waste your tie dipping lightly into lots of them

Read beyond the subjects and understand the concepts ... that is of far more use than skimming the syllabus of 7 or 8 subjects

Yes, I understand what you are saying but i can't do maths at my school due to conflict

What, you can't do maths at all? Or you just can't do further maths?

Maths at all

Maths at all

Yes, I understand what you are saying but i can't do maths at my school due to conflict

What does it conflict with?

I have to ask - what is this "conflict" you referred to?

I argued with the head of the maths department because i could not learn in my class and due to the fact of my dyslexia he though putting me in a set 5 class was best and when i proceed to do maths on his white board he got a little annoyed and said i should not question him as he is a teacher and he knows best and not to bother doing a level maths as i am stupid.

Then transfer to another school

That is what people do at sixth form if they need to study something unavailable to them

I don't believe a word of that.

So somehow you understand PhD level mathematics but your teacher, teaching you the relative joke that is GCSE Maths thinks you're not capable of doing A-Level Maths?
