I've j found FM really boring so far, like I haven't learnt anything new or exciting


Want to throw some of that further maths knowledge this way? I'm struggling so much this year. :frown:

Do you guys ever feel stupid after something clicks and look back to yourself thinking 'how did I not get that...?'


Story of my life. Especially in Maths.

Yeah we do the "easy examboard" apparently (edexcel)

Do edexcel people do second order differential equations? I was surprised that my exam board don't do it.

Vector geometry in fp3, hyperbolics in fp2. Oh and complex numbers in fp2 as well. :unimpressed:

Yes, in FP2. :frown:

Nice. It bugs me that exam boards cover different topics. I feel like that shouldn't happen tbh...

Complex numbers I can probably help with :biggrin:

Hyperbolics we don't actually cover, and my knowledge is very limited

Vector Geometry, is all about drawing diagramssss

When it's a subject as modular as maths then the different specs of the boards are a drop in the ocean compared to the different combinations of modules. (Although I'm still pro-single exam board.)

Could you shed any light on q1 part iii) please? I tried cross producting the direction vectors of AB and AC (to get the direction vector of the line) and then used the direction vectors of AB and AC as normals to planes P and Q respectively. Although when I try to get a point on the line it kicks out some weird results :/ I don't have the answers either so I haven't a clue. :frown: any help would be awesome thanks. But it's okay if not :smile: I'm gonna shut up now anyway because this is kinda the wrong thread for this

They are super easy

Literally just quadratic equation

Differentiating and subbing in

And comparing coefficients

You say super easy but I doubt I'll find it easy somehow :tongue:

Second-order are easier to be honest.

my teacher said this, he said cos second order is double dif/intergration they make the types of questions easier
fp2 makes me glad im not doin maths at uni

Same.
Anyone going to a UCL open day soon?
Is this true? @University

I read from a Russel group uni that if you meet xyz grade your eligible for band 1/2/3 of scholarship/grant. If you miss your offer but manage to get a place through clearing i.e -1 grade short your not entitled to anything.

Wouldn't that just highlight that the financial limitation of people going to university even with the current system? #brokensystem
