Thanks Eric and wasyoungonce. The book you mentioned is one of the books that I want to understand more. I have a copy but its a bit of a pain to read until I can get my calculus knowledge back.
Mind you, when I did specialist Maths and Math Methods in VCE, that was about 15 years ago. I still have the old text books lying around so I might start again from year 10
I've found a few websites that are good for dusting off the old cobwebs. I've had a few "Eureka, the hat goes on the head moments" if you know what I mean.
I'm thinking about 1 hour a night (after the kids go to bed), and in a few months I should be up to scratch.
Anybody here done the Swinburne Masters in Astronomy? I've heard that its not that Maths heavy, however some of the units do require tertiary level Maths. I plan on doing this in the long future (many moons down the track, pun intended), so if anyone has done it, could you please let me know what level a students Maths should be at?
Thanks again,
Greg
