 |
|
Hi
I am starting an Access to Radiography course next month with a view to moving onto a degree in Diagnostic Radiography next year. Being a mature student of [coughs loudly] years with no recent study, I am a little worried about the level of Maths and Physics involved.
Could someone explain precisely what is covered in these two subjects so I might get to grips with them sooner rather than later?
Also, in an effort to keep up with the youthful majority of the course, can you recommend any reading? Yes, I know that there will be a reading list when I start but I would really like to get a head start in order to be able to cope with coursework without relying on my kids to help 
Cheers. |

Hiya Will and welcome to the forums m8
I couldn't comment on the level of Maths and Physics as it was so long ago that I completed the course but I remember having to take a bridging course in Maths over the summer to learn calculus (not that you end up using at all in your job). Some of the more recently qualifieds/students might be able to help with this area.
As for reading material
Here is a link to a thread where someone brought up the same question:

good luck fella

Calculus?
Thats the one aspect of maths I have never got to grips with.

I mean why did we have to work out all those fourier (sp) transforms? What a waste of time. I didn't mind the physics or the anatomy but the maths left me for dead

Oh yeh great book, I had to read that to brush up on my physics b4 I taught the students. Recommended highly that one.
Its got some great analogies when explaining complex theories

Thanks for the replies. I will get the physics book recommended. Can anyone recommend one to cover the essential math or is covered under physics?
Cheers |

What age are your kids? What about secretly borrowing their Maths books? I can't think of any specific books pertaining to Math in the radiography area.

- 2 weeks, 3, 5, 8 and 10 but as bright as they are, none will help me with calculus  If the math content is non-specific and simply general O level stuff then it's not a problem. |

i'm not the brightest with maths .. but i was told the maths would be extremely hard, i found because i was worried about this i gave it a little extra and actually did better in the module specifically involving calculus  |

calculus in physics is very easy..
just like the (HVL), TrAnForMer fOrmUla..
all of that is cover with basis mathemical.. |
