Kinematics, dynamics sound more like 3/4 Spesh concept . the foundation of complex number stuff will be find. ,such as imaginary number, the conjugate etc. Also focus on Trig.

Yeah I'll probably do unit 2 with distance ed this year, catch up on unit 1 over the holidays, and get into the nitty gritty of Spesh over the summer!

Haha good luck ;) make sure u don't rush over the foundation concepts for Spesh in 1/2 gma.
I remember our teacher also taught us 3/4 further stuff like sequence and series in gma which I don't think is relevant to any Spesh stuff.

That's because some schools run GMA to set people up for methods and  further and some run it to set people up for methods and spesh. Our school ran GMA to set people up for methods and further since we had 4 or 5 classes of further people while only a single class of 10 or so for spesh. As a result none of us had seen vectors or complex numbers before spesh, while friends at other schools had, we were already behind the game before the year started, (although we still did we in the end, just takes more hard work).

So if you can have a look before you get onto spesh (although if you're starting spesh earlier then it may help to go straight to spesh and learn it, it just depends on how you learn and whether you're starting early).

I'm starting to get too old for this... May be on here or irc from time to time.

This unit in adv gen we did Advanced algebraic techniques (partial fractions, rationalisng algebraic expressions, etc), Vectors and Complex numbers. Then in unit 2 we are gonna do kinematics and dynamics then just do stuff from the actual spesh course

If you do physics with spesh it helps a lot especially when dealing with the physics side of it  ;D

lol I'm dropping Physics because I really dislike the subject. I find I harbour no incentive or motivation to study for Physics, and its excrutiatingly difficult to immerse yourself in a subject you don't enjoy. That's ultimately why, in addition to loving Math, I'd like to pick up Specialist Math. :)

Yeah and I found the sequence and series topic to be useful in GAT :)
