VCE Stuff > VCE Specialist Mathematics

Spec's relation to physics

<< < (2/2)

pariah:
Thanks, I thought that the kinematics related stuff was the only thing that was relevant. i don't really expect spec to be too hard, coz all of general (advanced, or whatever u want to call the lead-in to spec) is pretty easy (just working through the text), and methods 3/4 is also alright ; it seems as if the hardest part is not screwing up and making careless mistakes (i've just been going through the chapters of the 3/4 text that aren't just repeats of 1/2 material, and really, no hard new stuff appears)

In year 11 my friends knew the forces/kinematics/vectors stuff before me, but it doesn't make much difference anyway. General maths was a bludge, seriously. Apparently specialist maths helps physics more, or so I've heard.

You learn about vectors in general maths in year 11... don't you?

Yep you do. That's why I said my friends who do physics knew it before I did in general maths.
Easy stuff. ;)

I personally don't like physics. But I love Spec Maths.
I know that Kinematics ties in with spec and physics, but other than that if you don't like physics than don't do it.

joechan521:
you did the right choice if you liked literature more,
my maths teacher said, people doing physics will sometimes do a specialist question with a physics approach, therefore the physics knowledge can even confuse you!
and students that did not learn physics will always answer questions in specialist way.
So physics is not needed!

however, doing both method and specialist helps
