Hello and welcome to Add Maths - PWNED!. Before getting started, please be informed that the main purpose of this blog is to help you enhance your prowess in Add Maths and as such, basic knowledge in all topics in your syllabus is expected. However, do not rely on the content in this blog alone, as it's definitely not going to be enough.
I doubt that this blog would be helpful to those scoring 50% or below, but to all others, it is sincerely hoped that upon completion of this blog, it would be able to help you boost your memory in the methods for tackling questions. With luck, the material contained here will be able to make Add Maths a "no-need-to-study-for" subject so that you can divert the extra precious time to other "tougher" subjects like Bio or Chem. Trust me, with sufficient understanding, Add Maths can be a very easy subject indeed; it's one of the very few subjects where you can technically score full marks.
Every tutorial in this blog will contain some of the following sections:
A. Introduction; which elaborates on the general properties in the chapter concerned
B. Essentials; which highlights the important stuff you need to know in the chapter. It's rather like a chapter summary.
C. Explanations
D. Logic chip, which explains the logic behind formulae or workings (these are usually extra info)
E. Calculator-smart; where you'd learn how to get the most out of your calculator for that chapter.
F. Check-smart, where you can get the lesser-known or alternative ways to verify the correctness of your answers.
G. Brain squeezers, or in normal terms, exercises.
Fonts of different colour will be used throughout the tutorials... and they have the following meanings:
Yellow: Sections in the tutorial
Orange: Important info
Pink: Examples
Green: Buttons on your calculator
Blue: Things to watch out for/ common pitfalls
Take note that there will hardly be any exercises in the tutorials... you can easily get them from your workbooks and practice papers. Besides, the examples provided here are more aimed at promoting your understanding of a subject matter, and may not reflect the way exam questions are set.
For your very first tutorial, click on the link below (since i can't easily make tables or write equations on Blogger).

Feel free to air your views about the effectiveness of this blog later on. Also, I'm not an active "blog-walker" so don't be offended if I don't go around liking or commenting on your respective blogs (if any). I've tried my best to ensure that the content in the tutorials is compatible with that in the syllabus and so will not be liable for any untoward occurrences resulting from direct or indirect reliance on the information presented in this blog.
In the meantime, have fun! :)
