stuff like prob, plane geomety etc has been left out of cambridge

Nah, it's just been thrown into the Year 12 Cambridge 3 unit.

I recommend a year 10 guy to get the following fabulous text books:

-MATHS IN FOCUS ( there are two separate ones,preliminary and HSC one), By Margaret Grove

-CAMBRIDGE FUCKING TEXTBOOK (3U and 4U) very good explanations

Don't be put off when ppl say 3U or 4U, SO EASSYYYY

Yeah, you would know a lot about it

It seems stupid they would put plane geo, probability into yr 12 when most schools teach it in yr 11 and it's in most yr 11 textbooks.

It seems stupid they would put plane geo, probability into yr 12 when most schools teach it in yr 11 and it's in most yr 11 textbooks.

Here's the reason they placed those topics into the year 12 book, quoted verbatim from their year 11 3 unit book:

We have left Euclidean geometry and polynomials until Year 12 for two reasons. First, we believe as much calculus as possible should be developed in Year 11, ideally including the logarithmic and exponential functions and the trigonometric functions. These are the fundamental ideas in the course, and it is best if Year 12 is used then to consolidate and extend them (and students subsequently taking the 4 Unit course particularly need this material early.) Secondly the Years 9 and 10 Advanced Course already develops much of the work on polynomials and Euclidean geometry in Options recommended for those proceeding to 3 Unit, so that revisiting them in Year 12 with the extensions and far greater sophistication required seemed an ideal arrangement.

That's their reasoning.

I should of read the preface *Runs out to buy 3U Cambridge Y12*
