I suppose it would help, one, it gives you much more confidence about mathematics which is always good. Sometimes confidence is more important than actually knowing the material. Also it helps reinforce fundamental things and by that I mean REALLY fundamental concepts, they get rigorous-ed and formalised.

Does it actually help with Spec/Methods? I'm interested if you take MUEP/UMEP maths primarily for the 5.5 increment or for an excuse for more maths (like like like).

Not really, no. Maybe complex numbers is the only overlap? And that's a very small section of the course.

They have calculus (differentiation and antidifferentiation) but omg it is so much more high-level than Spesh that it makes Spesh stuff look easy, just like doing Spesh makes Methods look easy (but you can't even use Uni Maths stuff for Spesh)

Why wouldn't you do it?

Extra maths, which is much more interesting PLUS a bonus 5.5 increment...

No brainer. ;)

I want to do it. Even if it does my brain in, I would atleast familiarize myself with some concepts. True :s ?
