Talk:A-level Mathematics/OCR/M1/Kinematics of Motion in a Straight Line

What Needs to Be Done
This page was made for the physics section, hence is physics orientated. As an open request, I would like some one to make the page more "mathematical". Thanks a lot.

Different approach
I noticed that the author has started with a vector approach. Instead of simply listing formulas, perhaps we could describe the derivations as well. Then we could show how the scalar forms of the formulas described in the OCR specifications are just special cases of the more general framework.

Moved
Not sure if this is quite the right place for this, as it seems to complex for the M1 module. Aleksev 11:48, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Far too difficult!
I teach the M1 course and this approach is totally inappropriate!

A simple derivation based upon the definition of acceleration and using the fact that the distance is the area under a v-t graph will be sufficient. But for M1 it is the use, not the derivation, that is the most important.

The use of vectors, vector intergration etc is well above the level required for M1
