apparently, some of the companies have made a new summer school lecture regarding 'calculators'---its a whole lecture dedicated to the understanding and use of calculators.

tsfx--techonology in maths?

do you think its worth it?

is anyone going? $50

shinny:
Don't bother. They don't teach you anything really insightful which you wouldn't pick up from a teacher or by yourself anyway. For non-CAS calcs, there's really nothing which is that difficult, and for CAS calcs, I doubt that they'll teach you the hard stuff which really helps since it usually involves programming which I doubt they know how to do themselves. If you need help with anything, just ask on this forum!

Don't go at all! I forked out more than $1000 in TSFX for Summer School, Winter School, and End of Year Preparation, and learned shit all. Most of the lectures were for maths as well, and I think everyone knows how I went in those exams. :(

Even if you're desperate (like I was), it's probably the best idea to talk to teachers, these forums or anything that you can do for free, rather than fork out thousands on something that overall, isn't really worth it.

@ Mao - Do you mean the TSFX summer school or the one that UoM people run, is good?  :D

bturville:
I went to the TSFX intensive 3 day methods revision last year before the exams (the one they have at UoM, it was in the med building). It was with...Jaskula? Can't remember her name, but its been mentioned before. Something beginning with J.

I thought it was quite good and the exam reference book they gave us meant i didn't need to make my own. Because i had quite a few gaps in my methods knowledge before exams, this really helped solidify all the knowledge. I'm very happy with the $150 (or whatever it was) i spent.
