spec math is totally different from math(or the full term : mathematical studies)

spec math is totally much more difficult that math studies. cos in math studies you just learn mostly on some algebra, differentiation and intergration.. and questions are mostly on these stuff..

where as for spec math, the questions are normally much more on proving equations like " show that this = that ", then you'll have to apply some theories or laws to prove that this = that. spec math is normally taken by engineering students. though some medic students does take it as well. say in AUSMAT 17, out of 300 students in our batch, about 70 were medic students. and out of this 70 medic students less than 5 did actually take spec math.

question! question!
in the KBU booklet, the subjects tat they offer got 3 different math subjects; applicable mathematics, calculus and discrete mathematics. can anyone tell me what's the difference between applicable math and discrete math? and we learnt calculus in f5 already rite? it's onli 2 babs (differentiation and integration).. don tell me we'll b studying those 2 babs for 18months??!

Actually calculus is a broad subject with many areas are being covered. What we learned in form 5 is just the very very simple and basic knowledge of calculus.

How much do you know about limit? Just limit can be a very long chapter that can take up to 1-2 months' time.

Somemore, we hav learnt differentiation in form 4. But, that one is very very basic one. Hav u learnt about differention of trigonometric function, like sin, cos, tan, cot, sin-1... and e, ln?? Somemore got integration about all this. Somemore differential equations and system of differential equations.

Don't think that calculus is just form 5 like that. Many more for u to explore.

yeah.. its quite true alright... what ever you study for your matriculation.. it might seem related to what you study in form 5.. in fact it is related.. but when you really get into it.. its a whole new level for you and definitely not as easy as it seems in form 5...
