Help! Im sinking!

[Marc Lajevardi]

deep in poo in a world of formulas!! :dizzy2::sweatdrop::shout:

Can anyone recommend any books worth getting to help me out on how to remember them all? Im having a tough time and newcastle college are absolute pony. Im also looking into getting a maths tutor with an electrical background for some help, which is proving difficult.
I am literally thicker than a castle wall when it comes to maths so any help would be appreciated!!

Hi mate, is it the lvl2 you are on? I'm pretty busy at the moment but tell me what you're struggling on and I'll dig some of last year's notes out and go through it with you over a coffee somewhere... The book I found helpful was maelstrom electrical calculations or something like that. I have loads of books on pdf I can give you but I know sometimes it's easier with an actual book to flick through

alright pal, nah im level 3 mate, im not too sure if there's much of a difference though. I wouldn't expect you to go our your way mate, yeah i always prefer physical studying to online, my eyes hurt after staring at a screen for too long anyways!
Literally all the formulas are baffling me the most, we've also just started cable selection which looks like its going to be a real pain!

Ive had to take a year out after finishing the level 2 this summer cos i don't have the time for a day at college a week at the mo, i'll be doing the level 3 next september instead so it would probably be good for me to keep my hand in with the formulas and stuff as i feel like I'm forgetting a bit already!

Just post up anything you are stuck with and the lads will help you out, like i say i don't mind meeting up for a brew if you want to bounce some ideas about just I'm on the road 3 or 4 days a week at the minute
