i think u pray lah just need to pray everyday then u can get good results liao no need tutor watsoever just pray God is bad at maths

Maths is not study de, maths is PRACTICE

Maths is not study de, maths is PRACTICE

you remind me of my maths teacher

If you spend more time on your books rather than sgForums, you won't need a tutor.

this is indirectly hint me to ban him rite?....................

I can't totally remember what I learned in NUS on

5. Computing Representation & Arithmetic (with base system)

But hor... for 1 to 4... do take a look at ExamWorld and see whether the A levels stuff is anything remotely related to what you are doing...

youyayu SG

i really need 1 to 1 tutoring.

i self revise untill i almost ki siao, do sums. also cannot

eagle SG

At least look at say whether it is the same mah -.-"

i.e. for A levels...

Topic: Functions
- Determine whether composite/inverse function exists
- Find composite/inverse function
- Find restricted domain for composite/inverse function to exist
- Find domain/range for a function
- Sketch graphs of functions, their inverses and reflection lines

Topic: Sequences and series
- AP/GP
1. Show series is AP/GP
2. Solve a pure AP/GP problem (e.g. find term, sum, common difference, common ratio, sum to infinity)
3. Solve a problem where AP/GP are related (e.g. terms of AP are terms of GP)
4. Solve monetary problems (compound interest)
5. Solve problems involving patterns, e.g. find first term in the nth bracket given that {1}, {3, 5}, {7, 9, 11}, ...

- Summation
1. Sum of r, r^2, r^3, a^r and the like

- Method of differences
1. Use of partial fractions, trigonometric identities or appropriate algebraic manipulations to obtain difference of two similar expressions
2. Cancellation of terms
3. Find expression in terms of n or N
4. Find the sum as n or N approaches infinity (concept of convergence/divergence)
5. Find an inequality for a summation of a similar form, based on the previous one

- Recurrences
1. Find the limit as n approaches infinity
2. Prove some results or inequalities, e.g. x_n > x_(n + 1)
3. Relate to graphs when proving, for instance, x_n > x_(n + 1) when x_n < alpha

- Mathematical induction
1. Prove a result that involves summation, then at times use the result to find sums
2. Prove a result that involves recurrence
3. Prove a conjecture, obtained by observing a pattern that comes from guided steps

Since you are taking a diploma in a private school, it is best that you approach lecturer for help. He or she will be in the best position to help.

Furthermore, the examination questions will usually be set by your lecturer.

You should go down to meet your lecturer and let him or her know about your problems. He or she MIGHT give you some hints what to study for the coming examination.

PS :

What you really need is a good book with many examples that show you how to use mathematics in IT eg NCC Diploma coursebook Mathematics for Computers which shows you how matrices, relations, sequences, series and so on are used in computer programming with detailed source code in Visual Basic

well i can't understand my lecturer... really blur what he teaching.

well i can't understand my lecturer... really blur what he teaching.

Your exam is on 20th June.

Your are very short of time now.

You will not have time to learn everything in the course now.

So, your only choice is to spot questions and study.

To spot questions, you will need HINTS from your lecturer who will be the one

that sets your exam questions.

So, you will have to go and see your lecturer and gather as much clues as

possible from your lecturer and study based on these spotted questions.

Ask your lecturer to explain these spotted questions again until you understand

them fully or ask your classmates who are very good at it to help you on these

spotted questions and also you must make sure you understand them fully too.

Try your best and hope for the best.

have u looked at what was posted and checked whether it is the same as your syllabus?

deepak.c SG

well i can't understand my lecturer... really blur what he teaching.

If you can't understand what he taught, can always open up your textbook to read, it's the same thing. What your lecturer does is merely conveying the the text in the book to words. Perhaps your lecturer has a problem with conveying the concepts, so my advice is to read the book.
