na most of it was on essentials dono about others, further reading beyond yr 12 material has several advantages, it increases your passion for mathematics which really helps with your confidence and trust me confidence is super important in mathematics. it also explores the fundamentals much deeper than the material taught in 3/4 methods, eg, calculus is one area where 3/4 methods completely skips the basics (Riemann sums, integral approximations etc) and most people do not have a real understanding of it, they can apply it but most will not appreciate its beauty.

You speak of maths as if its a girl or someone  ;)
Also, how did you go for maths..
Im assuming a 50 for both methods and spec?

nah no 50, lol maths is like an art, very 'beautiful', and very aesthetic in nature, it also amazes me because mathematics forms the foundations for alot of other sciences, phys, chem, economics etc.

vce mathematics is different though, it's more like practising to not make stupid mistakes rather than learning true mathematics, also all the constraints in vce maths is very annoying which is another reason for further reading if vce maths bores u.

Maths is definately the foundation for all of those sciences... Especially Physics. How did you prepare for year 12?
