For those of you starting your A Maths journey this year...

I thought I'd start the 2011 series of A Maths blogs on an advice: "Don't give up". I know this is a cliche and we have heard it too many times before, but it is so true, especially for A Maths. And for those of you who are just starting on it, you might feel overwhelmed by it in the beginning.

Don't give up.

It is important to understand that A Maths is training you for higher order thinking. You would not have had any such subjects before and it may be daunting.

Don't give up.

You must always look for connections; understand the basics and.... you got it -

don't give up.

Lastly, you must bone up on your algebraic manipulations, solving of algebraic equations and the like. A Maths takes your understanding of these things and projects them to a higher plane. So if you think that your algebra is shaking, it would be best to start practising on it. It will save your A Maths life!

Have a great 2011!
