Psssst, faggots, how does this compare to GCSE mathematics in terms of difficulty? I never did GCSE.
It's one assignment question from the the Open Universities lowest level maths course.
T-T-Thanks.

Fuck it's slanted. I'll try to fix it. BRB.
Please work.

Interesting. Without wanting to come across as an arrogant twat, I'm finding it pretty easy so far and I got a G grade at GCSE. Though this time I'm actually doing the work. Shows how much of a difference a change in attitude can make.
By the way, the word polynomial isn't mentioned anywhere in the quadratics section of the textbook (which this question is supposed to test). I will have to look this up.
Another question, from the same assignment. A trig question.
>>7924758
Lol yeah well done this is way above G grade stuff.
Quadratics are polynomials. A polynomial is anything that has x^n in it so x^2 is a quadratic, x^3 is a cubic, x^4 is a quartic, x^5 is a quintic and so on.

What about the trig question I've posted? I'll post another in a sec.
>>7925368
yeah that is too.

GCSE is high school stuff, so I presume it's similar to the UK.
The course is intended as a refresher for high school level mathematics and to create a good base for starting calc and the math beyond.
>>7925375
What exactly is more difficult?
Here is another trig question from the same assignment.
If it comes our slanted, I'll repost it in two parts.
This is a tiny bit harder than GCSE, on the GCSE/AS boundary
Is this maths or Physics?
>>7926666
Intro to maths
>>7926674
Oh, around a third of that stuff is covered in the physics syllabus at AS, not in the maths syllabus
>>7926678
That's interesting. I'm enjoying the physics parts a lot. Glad it's included.
The entire course is 4 textbooks (a bit over a 1000 pages) done in 8 months.
>>7926678
Wait a minute, so models of vertically launched projectiles is part of AS level physics?
>>7926717
Parabolic motion of projectiles is
>>7926720
Is this shit supposed to be easy? How do most people fair at this? And can I expect a big jump in difficulty soon?
>>7926733
The stuff you're doing is pretty trivial once you get further along in your studies.
>>7926736
The next course (which is designed to be taken after this one) will cover sequences, complex numbers, functions, further trig, calc, matrices, and vectors. Any advice/things to keep in mind? Anything to look out for that fucks people?
>>7926754
And how comparable does it sound to A level?
>>7924694
Its on the harder end of GSCE, and on the easier end of A-level.
>>7926796
What about
>will cover sequences, complex numbers, functions, further trig, calc, matrices, and vectors.
>>7926808
Then thats mid to early A-level. Thats all in Core 2 and FP1 modules IIRC, they are first-year modules.
With the exception of further trig and vectors, which are GSCE subjects.
>>7926815
What's late A levels?
>>7926818
Advanced perms and combs, circular motion, complex calculus, proofs, integrating under the sign, advanced parameterisation, etc
