Hello, I hope this thread allows me to post this here!
I tried and failed year 11 three times, and now I am 21 years old and am giving year 12 a good shot. So far I have been outstanding with other subjects (I am really proud of finally learning dedication!), but still, I am struggling with the subject I've always wanted to be good at; and that is mathematics.
My goal in life is to be an astronomer. An astronomer needs to be great with maths! I have always loved a challenge, perhaps it comes from my sporty personality.
Anyway, I am quite behind in mathematics. I am looking here for tips/motivation/discussion/reaching out etc.
I am on my break and have a test coming up. In that test, I am going to have to know about the following:
All in all, I am a struggling student who really is not a natural at maths, but I want to be able to push through all of that and be good at what I've always wanted to achieve in. A lot of people think I am silly for this, and they are probably right, but it's my life and I choose to make it difficult like this xD Hopefully it can work out, so I keep trying.
Any form of input really would be appreciated!
With much love,
SydNova

I am on my break and have a test coming up. In that test, I am going to have to know about the following:
- Composite/Inverse/Power/Application of functions.
- Linear equations (Literal, simultaneous, coordinate geometry, matrices)
- Transformations (Translations, Dilations, Reflections, etc)
- Polynomial functions (Quadratic, parabola rule, general cubic function, etc)
