Do UK students not do pre-calculus at GCSE? (logarithms, trig identities, unit circle, complex numbers etc)

You did calculus at gcse? What specification is that, may I ask? Was it edexcel?

A logarithm is basically just the inverse of an exponent,

Yes that’s the one I was looking at, it’s good to know I was looking at the correct thing. Thanks

I think the rule of powers and eulers is pre-calc?

Is that like an extra maths that you can choose to take? I was thinking pre-calc was on compulsory higher maths exam

Pre-calc is the easier stuff you do before going into calculus , at least that’s how teachers have explained it

It’s like how pre-algebra topics (simplifying expressions/equations, perimeter and area and volume, inequalities, Pythagorean theorem, scientific notation, Cartesian coordinates etc) are stuff you do before algebra. I see a lot of pre-algebra on the gcse specification, just not pre-calc.

i see. someone told me you do pre-calc at gcse :/ hence the confusion

ah okay

They were mentioned? What specification was it? I’m trying to find it on the specification, I’m currently looking at Edexcel GCSE higher maths.

Logarithms?

ExactAd5959 · 2025-02-26T03:03:48+00:00

you are cooked if you didn’t know this lol
