Advanced Higher Maths 2011-2012 : Discussion and Help

I'm quite looking forward to this next year, the course seems to be more interesting and challenging than higher's.

Who else is taking it, and why?

I hope to post some revision resources etc on here after the exams.

My school didn't even run it last year as only one person chose it!

Luckily this year there's about 6/7 so it will be running, however we were told by my Maths teacher that most pupils that took it 2 years ago either got a C or failed i think.

Scary stuff :s-smilie:

Taking it because I quite enjoy maths and kind of good at it.
It's an amazing course and I loved it; complex numbers, binomial theorem and differential equations. It's so fun. Just turns out the exam this year was horrible :tongue:

to the people sitting it next year, i hope the sqa give u a nice paper, unlike us. ours was from hell. good lcuk to the guys doing it
My piece of advice for you guys sitting it next year is to keep revising throughout the year. Do practice questions every other day. Review what you did during the week during weekends. If you do this combined with frequent notereading then you should get a good mark. :smile:

The course is pretty cool and challenging. I didn't think I would get through the course last October but everything will click in the end (that's if you revise!)

I'm taking it as I'm just generally interested in maths and hopefully, it will prepare me for university. Nice thread by the way.

First period today as well. Our teacher only talked about what was in the course and we only got to touch on pascals triangle/binomial theorem.
I've got a double first thing tomorrow though. Hopefully we'll get a lot more done. Is it strange that I'm looking forward to it?:biggrin:

Maths should be good this year - 2 good teachers and a very good small class :biggrin:
I know it will be hard, but if i can keep on top of the work, i have a good chance!

I'm quite looking forward to maths - haven't had a lesson yet though (my school was off today) and I don't know when I will since we haven't been issued our timetables yet. Slightly worried since the teacher openly admits he has never taught the whole course before since it was usually split between 2 teachers :s-smilie:
Ah well, should be fun :P

Missing 5 days for a school trip to Italy so we're in the same boat. :lol:

Taking Maths because I'm stupid and have a death wish. No, I needed 3 Advanced Highers for Pharmacy, thought Maths would be useful and didn't want even more coursework heaped on me as well as the Biology and Chemistry investigations, so this was my alternative to English or German, really.

Thanks for this thread by the way, OP. :biggrin:

Ah, it looks so fun. I just really like maths, and it's going to help when applying for physics. We're only getting 4 periods a week though, so there's going to be a lot of hard work involved.
