Ultimate verdict

I am doing CIE GCE AS/A2 level of which 4 are A2 subjects and 2 AS. I am getting done with A2 this series of October - November 2011.

Is anyone doing or have done CIE Mathematics (9691) in their A-level ?

I am into the stage where I am left to give only one paper (Mechanics 1). I have given rest of the three papers (Pure Mathematics 1 and Statistics 1 in May - June 2011 and Pure Mathematics 2 and 3 in this October - November 2011 session) and they have been great so far.

If you can direct me to the pages where I can find revision and other aiding material for Mechanics 1. This would be great.

hi Arthur Bon Zavi

Welcome to the forum.

Is anyone doing or have done CIE Mathematics (9691) in their A-level ?

There was a post a while back from NVS.  See

http://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=15432

But nothing from this person since.

Are you teaching yourself?  I assume you've looked at the Cambridge resources pages.

If you have a specific question / topic, post on the Help Me pages and there are several forum members  who'll give it their best thinking.

Yes, I saw that page.

What I need is some references for Mechanics 1 from this site. Yes, I have been through to the CIE website and resources already.

No, I am taking those subjects via school. I will post doubts if any.

Thanks man.

hi Arthur Bon Zavi

I looked at the Maths Is Fun pages first.

http://www.mathsisfun.com/index.htm

There doesn't seem to be a lot at the moment.  There's a bit on Newton, and force, velocity etc., but I don't think that's what you'll want.

MIF develops new pages all the time and doesn't mind feedback and suggestions.  I've recently given him a new challenge for a zoomable number line

http://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=16737

and that's keeping him quite busy!  (If you're reading this,  MIF, once again thanks!)

Many years ago, when I did mechanics, mostly it came down to practice, because there's not a lot of theory.  So get some past papers, give them a try, and post here when you get stuck.

Good luck with it! 

Bob

Re: Ultimate verdict

That's okay. I went through that site. Besides, I have revised my M1 book a well number of satisfied times. I am doing the past papers now.

Thank you.
