  1. Really? I can't imagine it needing more than Java, Flash and PDF handling. What browser are you using?

     

    Books aren't necessarily a waste of money, it's been shown that people retain information better from printed material than from a screen. You can always sell them on when you're done with them as well although I wouldn't expect that much return from old GCP books to be honest.

     

    Especially as exam season looms (it seems to start looming from straight after Christmas nowadays) there will be deals on revision guides at major bookshops. Although if there is a good second hand bookshop near you then check that out first.

     

    Remember that any money spent on (good) education is an investment.

    Firstly, I apologise for not realising how much MathsNet charges for now. I remembered nearly all of the useful content being free, evidently times have changed.

     

    Bitesize is obviously a good place for basics and it should have plenty of exercises.

     

    Maths Revision.net is comprehensive and about as good a point of reference as any.

     

    Unfortunately Wikibooks haven't got a GCSE Maths project yet.

     

    In terms of lessons, per se I don't think that's such a good idea. It's up to you to decide how to structure your time out of school hours and what order you want to study in. You might want to spend 40 minutes on past papers for every 20 minutes resting and some website telling you otherwise isn't helpful at all.

     

    I'll emphasise again that past papers really are the best approach to maths exams.

     

    Also, if you have any specific questions at all, scienceforums.net (you're already here, you don't need to click that) is here to help.

     

    Hey The tree, Excuse my absence from this forum, I've been busy lately.

    Any way, thanks for the links :)

     

    EDIT:

    Really? I can't imagine it needing more than Java, Flash and PDF handling. What browser are you using?

     

    I'm using Netscape.

  2. Thanks 'the tree' (Very odd nickname, yet catchy),

    I've glanced through the first link you've posted which is MathsNet, but the exercises cannot be displayed it requires some sort of plugin, according to the 'plugin finder service' unfortunately no such suitable plugin can be found..

    and the other link you've posted, thanks but I'm not going to waste my money on books since there are free lessons available on the internet.. so I'm willing to take math lessons online.

    Do you know any web sites that provides and offers free GCSE math lessons?

  3. Greetings to my fellow studious members, I'm a newcomer. I've been reading to some of your posts and I have to admit I was astonished to find that most of you here are so damn smart and intellectual.. :eek:

    I hate to admit, but I frankly envy your intelligence, I wish I was as smart as some of you smart members here..

    However, I have no time to introduce myself, I'll just give some brief information, I'm 17 and a high school student of the 11th grade and I'm half russian and half UK, but mainly I'm from UK cuz I have a UK passport and I'm not very fluent in russian, anyhow, I've never been interested in education before as I am now honestly.. Frankly speaking I've been getting low marks in school but passing marks fortunately except they were the minimum passing marks.. But now I'm willing to get higher grades, so I'm now more confident and determined to widen and expand my knowledge and hopefully become a smarter person.

    anyway, I know I've posted this at the general mathematics thread but the reason of posting it here is that I was going to request for links of the best web sites with good math tutorials and lessons.

    so if anyone happen to know any good links for math lessons post them here if you please.

     

    thanks,
