you know that feeling you're just not understanding a topic i've been getting loads recently since i begun my 3rd year of uni, and it's affecting my general problem sheets etc let alone learning to do the exams
my main problem is my applied math courses im doing for the 1st year pure maths students, im not so used to doing analytical maths these days and im really stuck on force diagrams
ive emailed my lecturer asking to talk to them im just unsure what to ask about as i dont really get it thing is i know i could do it with a bit more guidance since the people in my class have only done up to further maths a level and ive done 2 years of chemistry, matrices, physics and approximation techniques
any advice on what i can ask her to make it seem like im not a lazy sod?
ps my praises go out to degree maths students

buy the recomended text book for that module, and work through problems, (if you're given some to do, if not, do some out of the text book).
also, 2 heads are always better than one, see if a freind on your course can help you out, usually it's a small trick that won't have clicked with you quite yet!
I personally prefer applied maths, but then again, I'm in my third year of a physics degree
Bopz
you'll be right.
my ex bf did a maths and computing degree and got by alright.
just do your best and accept any help you can.
I totally agree with this. (I'm doing Foundations of Advanced Maths, not a degree though)
- i'm sure you are not alone in not getting the hang of it!
nah theyre maths dept studetns and get general tutorials etc :yippe:
