Hi B.P.
I saved the following list of things to pre-study, from a post on the same topic from earlier in the year.
> Trigonometry & Triangles
> Vector Triangles
> Angles within circles
> Properties of circles
> Geometrical relations
> Interpolation
> Transposition of formulae
> Arithmetic skills
> Mental arithmetic
> Ability to read graphs
> Basic magnetism
> Basic Electrics
> Understanding of power, work, energy and moments of force.
> Try and get yourself a basic maths & physics book. Also Mechanics of
flight
> by AC Kermode.
Also, many people rave about a book on jet engines written by none other than Rolls Royce (the company, not a pseudonym!).
Hope this helps!
I intend to start looking at this lot in the new year.
Best of Luck!
