Maths at A-level

iviv said:
I loved GCSE maths and did great at it, really enjoyed it so took it to A-level, and my brain completely melted. Some bits were ok, but the differential stuff and derivatives and so on, I tried but I just couldn't get my head around them at all.

Still, final year of Uni now, so things have turned out ok :D

I'm self studying Higher Maths right now. It's not so bad. Some things blow your mind at first but so far derivatives and integrations haven't been too bad (I hate quadratics though. ALWAYS mess up the signs).

Going for a CS/Maths too. Eep.

Although my plan is to do all the number work at uni, and then at my free time develop creative skills (drawing, which I do have some natural talent at, writing, music, etc. Then, after uni, I can hopefully decide which path I want to go. (aka do ALL THE THINGS)

If you enjoy maths, you will find the A-level relatively easy.

If you don't really enjoy maths that much, you will find it requires a lot of work.


Luckily, I enjoy maths.


Also, as others have said, do the further maths A-level as well. Makes the standard A-level a lot easier, and is crucial for getting into a good Uni for Maths. Studying the STEP papers is also a very good idea.

Yeah I forgot to mention that, I love maths, not when it's complicated but I always keep trying. It's by far my favourite lesson.
