If u no material~~ u can ask me for borrow~~ >.<
And I hope senior or fmt candidate can add me~~
please~~!!! Help me to solve some question

do you have facebook? there's a group for further maths, if possible mind to let me know your name in facebook? so i can invite you into the group

Maths T is one of the subjects in STPM Science stream, which you must take if you want to take Further Maths T.

[KenT13]

stpm only has these subjects? so little compared to spm-.-
* Pengajian Am (General Studies)
* Bahasa Melayu (Malay language)
* Bahasa Cina (Chinese language)
* Bahasa Tamil (Tamil language)
* Bahasa Arab (Arabic language)
* Literature in English
* Kesusasteraan Melayu (Literature in Malay)
* Pendidikan Islam (Islamic Studies)
* Syariah (Syariah)
* Usuluddin (Islamic studies)
* Sejarah (History)
* Geografi (Geography)
* Ekonomi (Economics)
* Pengajian Perniagaan (Business studies)
* Perakaunan (Accountancy)
* Mathematics S (may not be taken with Mathematics T)
* Mathematics T (may not be taken with Mathematics S)
* Further Mathematics T (may only be taken with Mathematics T)
* Computing (may only be taken at certain schools)
* Physics
* Chemistry
* Biology
* Sains Sukan (Sport science)
* Seni Visual (Visual Art)

and what's the diff between maths s and maths T

[markwongsk]

Math S involves more statistics. Both Math T and Math S have the same paper 1, but math S covers more statistics while Math T covers things like trigonometry and differential equations.

Chi-square distribution is χ2 Test?

"chi" is one of the greek alphabets which looked like an X. So basically, X^2 is "chi-squared". It's the study of how you model a sample as the assumed distribution, be it Poisson, Normal, Binomial, t- or uniform... I would say it's one of the most easy and straight-forward chapters.

Why would you want so many subjects in STPM? You can only take 5 anyway, and 4 is already suffocating.

At STPM level, every subject is important in its own way, and you take it as a pre-requisite to enter the future course that you want. I don't think any university wants Ekonomi Rumah Tangga, Sains Pertanian or Pendidikan Muzik as a pre-requisite to enter it...

And yeah, Mathematics S is normally provided in Art-Stream schools, as an easier and more practical subject for Economy Students. It has more statistics than it's counter part, Maths T.
Maths T is taken by Science students with a combination of either Phy-Mat-Chem or Bio-Mat-Chem. Maths T has Trigonometry, Differential Equations, Vectors and Geometry which any Art Student would not want to take.

You can't take both subjects at the same time, and Maths T but not Maths S is required to take together with Further Maths T.

so that's called chi-square .. . i got a list of books from mpm. . going mph buy soon..

according to johnivan,""However, some of the sections of certain chapters can't be found in the 5 books (Gaussian elimination, Taylor's remainder theorem, differentiability, etc)(post #1.""(still dunno how to wrap quotes)
so the remaining topic can be found where?? and do we really need maths s text??
