just did the jan 13 paper, couple of meaty questions on there!

Me too. Gosh, that one's awful. It's scared me now - I've been doing past papers all week and doing well, but this one was so much harder!

Do you think you could possibly help me with 8iii) I'm so confused? :frown:

I personally haven't used it for FP1 as I've had no need but i've used his videos for M1 and M2 as well as others. They're great:

I'd recommend looking at the specification to check you know everything:

Looking forward to this exam tomorrow, normally takes me about 25 minutes to finish each paper :P

For anyone who is worried, just take your time. I find the FP1 exams to be very short in comparison to other modules, you've plenty of time.

For the guy above who mentioned matrix transformations, I find it easier to always draw the unit square and the transformation from the matrix given so I can really see what's going on.

wtf? Do you finish core 1 in 10 minutes then?

I redid the question adding in little bits to hopefully guide you:

SORRY there's a slight error about half way down, it should be sum from r=2 to n, not from r=2 to infinity.

couple of mistakes, sorry I just rushed it out as I was called for tea :P

About half way down, should say sum from r=2 to n, not sum from r=2 to infinity

I've also forgotten to close a few brackets but its obvious where they are!

Can anyone explain the geometrical effects of adding and subtracting Complex number on an Argand diagram? Or link a page/video? Cheers.

Adding two complex numbers is the same as adding two vectors :smile:

Can't really remember anything on vectors. I can remember drawing a parallelogram and stuff for conjugates... Is that basically it?
