I did GCE O level maths in '83 or '84, and don't recall trig getting
much beyond basic right angle triangle stuff, with a possible
requirement to be able to use the sine or cosine rules. I was not
sufficiently a fan of maths (at the time) to take it at A level.


I was lucky in that I enjoyed doing my GCE O level and did go on to do
an A level. I bumped into my A level teacher 20 years after doing my A
level and took the time to tell her she was the best teacher I ever had
(she was no longer teaching and was interviewing my wife for a job when
I bumped into her). I have just dragged some of my old schoolbooks out
of the loft to help a friends lad out who is starting A level next term.




by far my best teacher at "O" level was "Nut" Hayes, who was B.Sc.
Physics (Failed), stirred his tea with his comb etc ... but was prolly
the best teacher I came across

Respect ... as one would say now
