For maths + Ext1 I have these topics left:

- Integration
- Logarithmic function
- Exponential function
- The Trigonometric functions (Radian measure of angle size, Derivations of trig function, Integration, applications etc) - I've done basic trig stuff equations already
- Inverse Trig functions
- Further trigonometry
- Motion (velocity, speed, simple harmonic, projectile)
- Binomial Theorem
- Further Calculus
- Rates and finance
- Euclidean geometry


Fuarrrrrrk that's so much :( I just realised..

Anyway those topic heading are from Cambridge, ,can someone tell me which of those I can self-learn and do the questions with not much difficulty? Because I really want to try and get ahead. thanks

All, but u must pay high attention to detail! Don't miss anything

The hardest one I'd say is binomial

to be honest, it's up to u to figure it out (try it out, then if it's hard, keep going and try harder, if its too hard, then u cant self learn that topic). it all depends on ur brain, motivation and persistence

Like the others have said, all of them.

But I"d say the easier ones are integration, log/exponential, trig functions, further trig and further calculus.

Sorry but is it just me or does boredofstudies have a new layout
I've been having a few problems accessing the site so this might be causing my layout to look different

By the way, is that a lot to get through in 3 more terms? How much should I aim to do these holidays?

If you're up for it, doing integration and motion during the holidays will save you a lot of time in the year because you'll have the fundamental 2U calculus skills down pat so mathematics will become easy and you'll be ready to ace extension 1 too

Thanks, you sure I should self learn integration though? That weird sign freaks me out , haha. Is it hard?

Is it really that easy? That you can rote learn it?

Euclidean, definitely
Further calculus
Further trig

IDK depends on your math ability, but those 3 definitely. The others you probably can as well, but start off with those if your math ability isn't that strong :)
