is it alright to use 3u books for 2u (3 Viewers)

[astroman]

sup guys so i have been doing some maff in the holz but the problem is i only do 2u and i have been using 3u books (coz i only have those). I don't know where the 2u section ends and 3u starts nor do i really know which exercise is for 2u or 3u only. Can any1 tell me if i do all the 3u exercises will it be helpful for 2u or will it be a waste of time?

It will help you when understanding 2 Unit concepts but it would also be a waste of time seeing as your don't do Extension

Don't your school provide you with textbooks?

If not then I recommend that you either buy a two unit textbook or pirate a digital version

Hope this helps

Best to get a 2u textbook, do questions out of there, and since you have a 3u textbook, you look at where the topics overlap and you do the harder questions.

However, imo it's better to use trial papers and HSC papers as a study tool. Textbook questions aren't great.

my school gives MATHS IN FOCUS :'(

guys will the first chapter for yr 12 2u be, geometrical applications of calculus or just geometry? we covered geometry in the last week of school before holz

I feel you bro. I pretty much scribbled all over the book and ripped pages coz it was so annoying lol.

Please don't use it. Don't bother finding which questions are 2 u and don't buy a 2u book (save $$).
Just when you finish a topic open up past 3 unit and 2 unit papers and do em, then you'll know what 's 3 u and 2u

why shouldn't i buy a 2u book, isnt it all just 2u so eliminating the need for me to figure out whether i am doing 2u or 3u work?

Depends on your school.

Depends on your school.

our last topic of yr 11 was geometry, so does that mean we start geometrical applications of calculus first?

Honestly depends on the school

They just mix up the topics like crazy but it would make sense if they were to follow on from geometry with geometrical applications of calculus

 

[astroman]

well i've been studying geometrical applications of calculus and a bit of integration

some of my mates said they start integration in term 1 2015

Not sure tbh.

recommendations for 2u book plz

 

[Futuremedstudent]

Not sure tbh.

well my first topic was was sequences/series followed by geometrical applications of calculus, integration, logarithmic/ exponential function and trig functions
