what are you doing in FP1 ? we was doing matrices but my teacher got bored by time we got in inverses and went ahead to some algebra or someing with alpha + beta =-b/c and alpha X Beta = a/c ?

Yeah we've just finished that alpha beta stuff with quadratics. First we did complex numbers, then graphs of rational functions (which is dislike), then matrices and matrix transformation. That's 5/11 chapters on AQA not bad going:smile:
You people are lucky, a-levels are simple compared to university.
Enjoy the simplicity while it lasts, before things become intensely complicated and stressful!

matrix transformation is horrible when it's in sine and cosine form, i can do it by x and y easily though :lol:

Have you sat a D1 mock yet ?

You get the reflection and rotation identities in the exam so it's not too bad and nope still have to do linear programming then I will be able to sit one:smile:

If my interviewer asks me "If you were an animal, what type of animal would you be?" Is human an acceptable answer:biggrin:

Yep, got my silver that I was aiming for :biggrin: One of the maths teachers marked every single paper (and there were a LOT) overnight.

Haven't done probability since year 9 though, and we don't do any D modules, so didn't get any of those marks :frown:
