I love Further!!

[ausyid]

 :smitten:

Is anyone else finding that Further plays perfectly to their mathematical strengths?

I never thought there was a subject that I am so suited to. I'm just very happy I picked it up this year after not doing GMB last year.

Does anyone else love Further? Does anyone hate it?

[ed_saifa]

I hate it. I did general maths last year and I HATED it. In particular, networks which was super ambiguous. The only solid topic was measurement.

lol, the only good part in Further is Financial Math, and it's pretty basic. Further is like dark side of math, it's boring.

for the record AppleXY wishes to learn more about financial Math while doing COMMERCE on his MACINTOSH at the UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE.

i really like this subject i thinks it suits my mathematical strengths aswell. It's not too challenging which suits me wonderfully

[midas_touch]

Further Maths is completely distinct from methods and specialist in that 'hardcore' topics such as algebra and calculus are more or less omitted. You don't have to necessarily be a maths person in order to ace further.

That will be the ultimate orgasmic experience for him .

<3 the bludginess compared to methods and spec, its the perfect 3/4 to do in yr 11

Yeh true that, i thought bout that today if i had the chance again i would do further in year 11 rather than legal studies

Our SAC that we are doing at the moment is F**KED!!!

This subject is so bloody easy but we are dealing with 3 bloody geographical regions and C02 emissions and GNI (Gross National Income) and because I use TI 89 I was unable to graph my residuals and sketch them so I've lost like 9 marks (something is wrong with my calculator, it says undefined even though the column is called "resid").

I don't really care. This stupid SAC can go r**t itself.
It doesn't help that we are working with 72 numbers that are to two decimal places and then another 36 numbers that are to 4 decimal places. This whole SAC is F**Ked i tell you.

[clinton_09]

yeh im doing a similar sac now, but now its not too bad just ridiculously time consuming like writing 2 -3 pages of conclusions from the tests u have carried out. I seriously wonder how it relates to maths at all. Oh well only 3 more periods to go yay

[droodles]

writing is the stupidest part of it

[costargh]

SUPER SAIYAN!!! =)

[Odette]

what a waste of a thread... further is not fun lol... its just a bludge subject

[clinton_09]
