Title: Any good online courses for a head start on Maths Specialist and Maths Methods?
Post by: yaliharel10 on November 02, 2021, 03:50:31 pm
Hello, I am learning Maths Specialist and Maths Methods 3 & 4 next year and I was wondering if anyone knows about any online free course that will give me a head start in my subjects?

For example I've found this EDX course:
https://www.edx.org/course/calculus-1a-differentiation?index=product&queryID=89e91f4fbbe05f26e957d7df1c6a9fbc&position=1

But it mostly focuses on Calculus and I was wondering if there is something more general.

Thanks :)

Depends on your background in mathematics but I found just going through the textbook sufficient - just completing the exercises and reading the theoretical component if it was new to me. If you have problems you can always supplement that with youtube videos/khan academy.

Khan Academy is so good for the fundamentals

Yeah, textbook should be fine with YouTube videos for when you don’t understand something and need someone to explain it.
Online courses I guess would be helpful though if you struggle with motivation and need something to make you do work each day.
