I am deep into calculus, which just seems to be such a beautiful part of mathematics. It is elegant and so very useful. I am very tempted to take the OU, MSc in Maths, just so I can study one of their very advanced calculus methods courses. I'll have to see how that fits in with my overall plan to finally study a PhD in Mathematical Physics or a related subject.
So here is what I have studied this week:
MST121
Revision of Product rule, Quotient rule, Composite rule
Revision of advanced derivations
Basic Integration
Integration by inspection
Further integration: Using algebraic manipulation and the composite rule
General maths exam practise
Sequences
Lines and Circles
Functions
Modelling with Sequences
Modelling with Vectors
Coursework completion
Questions 1 and 2 of TMA03, draft completed.
S197: How the Universe Works
Questions 1,2,3,4,5,6 of Final End of Module Assessment
Further Reading
Well, a very busy week completed and I am well into my stride now. Although I don't have an exam this year, for MST121, I am still revising the course, as if there was to be an exam in October. The reason for this, is simply one of practise. From January 2012, I am studying MST209, a more advanced course in mathematical physics and modelling, which is the same length as MST121, but has twice the study material and also a 3hr exam, at the end of it. So, I am treating MST121 as a mock version, to prepare for next year's course.
Total time spent studying this week: 20hrs
