Posted February 15, 2006 Quite a lot of maths is pretty pointless. I mean, when are you ever gonna use surds in real life? WHAT IS THE POINT! It's usefull for engineers and scientists and the like. Just think at the people who built your house, designed your iPod, created the the hardware on the pc you're using, find cures for diseases, doctors,... And it also develops your mind, allowing you to analyze problems, make certain situations abstract and find solutions for them. It seriously gives you an advantage, as a developped mind gives you numerous advantages in life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 15, 2006 im doing math gcse now (top set) and i definatly know im not taking AS in it. That's probably a good idea; I found a GCSE paper the other day, and couldn't believe how easy it was. Mind you, if the only reason you dislike it is because it's boring, it does get a lot more interesting at AS (and A2). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 15, 2006 Yes its boring, and its the evil, old hag of a teacher i have. I also find it kinda hard...teacher shows one example and expects you to know whole unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
