• Studying Maths is different from studying other subjects– learning Maths is doing problems
• Study Time– at least 2 hours of study time per lecture hour– Form informal study groups
Problem Solving
• Types of Problems– Problems Testing memorisation,– Problems Testing skills,– Problems requiring application of skills to
familiar situations,– Problems requiring application of skills to
unfamiliar situations (you develop a strategy for a new problem type),
– Problems requiring that you extend the skills or theory you know before applying them to an unfamiliar situation.
