The importance of Add Maths

In today's entry, I would like to emphasize the importance of Add Maths. If you are in your streaming year (sec 2) and considering whether to take up Add Maths, this post is for you. If you are a current Add Maths student, hopefully this post will serve as an impetus for you to do well in the subject. Personally, I feel that Add Maths is a very important subject and here are some reasons why:

1. Add Maths is a definite must if you wanna go into science stream. As long as you intend to take mathematics at the A Level, it is important to have prior knowledge on the subject. E Maths alone is not enough.

2. Add Maths gives you the foundation for many post secondary courses. Even if you go to polytechnic, many of the diploma courses will require you to have at least a decent foundation in mathematics. Most engineering courses and even business courses will require that of you.

3. Even if you don't take it now, somehow, it'll come back to haunt you. For e.g. when I was doing my first three months in JC, students who took maths but had no prior Add Maths background had to come back to school every Saturday for extra lessons. In a sense, there's no escaping it, unless your future academic pursuits are totally non-maths related.
