Is Applied Maths worth doing?

Signature

I'm doing 6 honours. I have 2 ordinary subjects - Maths and Applied Maths.

Is Applied Maths (O) worth doing or should I leave it out?

Thanks.

I would just do it anyway.
couldn't hurt and at O lv it won't be as difficult.

Up to yourself. I've never actually heard of anyone doing app maths at ordinary level, I always assumed it'd be, as it was for me, a subject you do on the side for the purpose of points.

For what purpose would you do it? It will probably damage your overal points as you will have to spend time at it.

If it takes loads of time and work then nah, it's probably not worth doing. But if you like it, then go ahead. I always knew I wouldn't be counting AM for points but I loved the classes and want to do engineering so figured any bit of it would be handy. It's good to have a few classes that you enjoy so definitely do it if you like it enough and have the time.

if you get an A1 in pass applied maths its more points than a D1 in one of your honours papers. An entirely plausible possibility.

i say do it

whats the worst that can happen?

i would do it...just to have something to fall back on..just incase one subject does go wrong on the day ^^

only do it if you enjoy it. It would be much easier to get results in if you really like it, even if ur not the best at the mathsy part. If you don't really like it then don't bother cos it'll just get annoying.

Applied maths is one of the best subjects for life. That's why i'm keeping my applied maths book. I can refer to it in any tricky situations...

Also, if you're doing physics it'll be really helpful for some sections. Even though I didn't actually count applied maths in the end, I still think it was worth it because of that.
