A-Level Maths K1-00 [Edexcel Large Data Set - Weather]

[jackaed]

This topic is an absolute joke, but you've really helped. Thank you so much, just wish I didn't have to revise this. I mean honestly, when will you be forced to analyse a data set without actually having the data set?

beaufort scale:
0 - calm (less than 1 knot)
1-3 - light (1-10 knot)
4 - moderate (11-16 knot)
5 - fresh (17-21 knot)
6 - strong breeze (22-27 knot)
7-9 gale (28-47 knot)
10-11 storm (48-63 knot)
12 - hurricane (64+ knot)

note: you probably don't need to know 6-11

9mins of Youtube is so much better than my math class, its so much better than my math teacher at school

Thanks so much! I needed help with the data set

Hi, please could you do a video on the OCR large data set for our a level monday? <3333

Hi Sir, I understand the different variables that can be measured and presented in the data set but to what extent do we need to know about the conditions in each weather station ? For example, could they ask " what approx temperature reading would be measured in October at Beijing ? " etc

Im not sure where the boundary is between " general knowledge" and unnessesary specifics .

Thanks

Apologies for this comment as its not directly related to the Large Data Set - wasn't too sure where I could hang this query.

Could you please advise on if there is something you can point me at regarding if there is an A Level Maths "Mind Map" type creature out there? By this I mean, traditionally, GCSE and A Level Maths etc. has a syllabus, you slog your way through it and try to grasp the mechanics and concepts of all the tools identified. There doesn't seem to be, readily available (or indeed presented within Edexcel for example) a holistic view were, once you have gone through and acquired your toolkit, a map is presented that illustrates where tools are identified/employed in solving specific types of problems.

A few examples to elucidate.

a. Finding the Inverse Function of a Quadratic - use the "tool" of Completing the Square of the quadratic.
b. Finding the equation of a circle (when given in the form of x^2 + y^2 + ax + by + c = 0) - again use the completing the square "tool".
c. Intersections of Circles, Tangents, Lines, Triangles etc - Use the Discriminant to identify unknowns or number of real solutions.

I hope this makes sense. Any ideas? If there isn't such a thing then, do you have any videos you could publish on YT?

Many thanks.

Do you have to remember all of the variables?
