Ok, for example the first question is use the identity given to find the sum to n terms of a given series, the identity being

1/ r (r + 1) = 1/r - 1/(r +1)

and the series being

n
SIGMA Sign     =    1/ r(r + 1)
r = 1

Sorry im hopeless at typing up maths equations....but i really dont understand what the hell they are on about!

If any one has FP1 then it is chapter two exercises 2 a and b that i am really stuck on sad

The book mentioned above seems very good.... just taken it out of the library big_smile

For AS Maths ive done C1 C2 and S1, next year i will do C3 C4 and M1, and then im doing an AS in Further Maths by myself and think i'll do FP1 FP2 and M2, although im already struggling on Chapter Two of FP1! sad

As im doing Physics, do you reckon its better if i did most of the Mechanics Modules?

Hi, im new to this forum but am in dire need of help

The school i attend is, lets say, well below average and only offers me the A Level Maths Course. to go to the universities i want to i need to have at least an AS in Further Maths, so i am self teaching it.

Lets just say im not a good self teacher, and i hate the way that the further maths books dont have colour in them, as i find them harder to follow sad

do could someone please explain to me the logic behind chapter two - series (yes, i know thats poor , but its hard teaching yourself) as i dont have a clue how they are deriving the forumla or how to work out the identities ad series sad

Many thanks in advance
