2U, aka Mathematics.

 

[Shoom]

What do all these geometry topics involve? any circle geometry?

-Coordinate methods in geometry
-Applications of geometrical properties
-Geometrical applications of differentiation
-Integration
-Trigonometric functions (including applications of trigonometric ratios)
-Logarithmic and exponential functions
-Applications of calculus to the physical world
-Probability
-Series and Series applications

It also has extension 1 (3-unit) so just ignore that.

Nope, circle geometry is not in the mathematics course.

Coordinate geometry is formulas and methods such as perpendicular distance from a point to a line, midpoint, gradient, two-point formula, general form etc.

Plane geometry is stuff like co-interior, congruent triangles, proofs of shape's properties etc.

Oh God, I hate geometry what is the best way for me to improve my geometry skills? so these geometry topics are not really gemoetry ( the year 12 topics) its more differentiation?

There's no trick, just practise, practise, practise. Questions. Know the formulae. Know how to approach the question. If it helps draw diagrams and label them in detail...

 

[Felix Jones]

understand the core principles behind and practice applying them.

 

[Shoom]

Ok, so over the holidays I will practice differentiation and gemoetry anything else that I should focus on from year 11 for year 12 in regards to math?

Probably Trigonometry
