Physics GCE 'A' level in MKS, CGS, Imperial units.
Degree 1st year in MKS, CGS, Imperial and Engineering Imperial units with the odd bit of SI thrown in for good measure.

Originally posted by sasguru View PostAnd the gap between A-level Maths and university level maths is also high.
A-level maths is a joke now compared to when I did it in the 80s, bite sized questions leading you to the answers.
Which means university maths has also fallen in standard, since the raw material cannot deal with sophisticated concepts.
But that means old farts like me stay in business as the younger generation are so crap, mathematically
The distance between a-level and degree level maths is largely a function of where you did your maths degree, and therefore hard to measure usefully.
Gap between GCSE and a-level much easier to measure consistently across the country and thus make generalised statements thereof.

But then I went to University (computing/electronics) and it seemed everything in the first year was rehasing stuff I already knew from A-level Maths or Physics.
