Next term depending on how successful this one is, I may do a Pre-HSC Meat where I will give all the Year 12's one final mock HSC Trial and have seminars going over them.
considering the planning, size, number etc. I don't think there is any way that this could not be successful

Potentially TOO many people because we don't have the Darug room from start to end.

My proposed solution: Have two groups. One who will be there the whole time, and another that will come during lunch time.

So morning group has breakfast to socialise and afternoon group has lunch to socialise.

Carrotsticks, can you please bring your Uni stuff that is remotely relevant to elementary Mathematics for me to look at? But if I'm the only person who's interested, then never mind.
What areas of mathematics are you most interested in Fus Ro Dah?

Yo Carrot, is there any way a humble 2012'er can help in the organisation of this? (i know i can't really do anything lol but you seem to have a lot to do)

Will be sure to let you know if I need anything! But otherwise everything is fine for the mean time. After my exam tomorrow I will have all the time in the world to organise this and make it as pretty as I can.

can we get strippers?
Thanks for volunteering =)

But in all seriousness everybody please try to behave on the day. You can talk etc but no screaming and running around, though I'm sure you are all mature enough not to do so.

I might also ask some people what it is like doing certain subjects. We have our subject selection meeting tomorrow which is when we get the form and we are told the subjects that the school offers. We have all holidays to think about it :)

Fabulous idea! And thank you for your kind offer to twinkle, though you already have done a lot =)

At the moment, leaning towards Analysis moreso anything else. Not really the Calculus-ish Analysis where it's just mindless computations for the most part, but I'm talking about deeper definitions, Series and nice integrals like the Gaussian Integral or the Sine Integral. It's strange, I like Analysis but I have a bit of a distaste towards Calculus, even though it is heavily Analysis-based. I hope you get what I mean.

Yep, I definitely do get what you mean. (Although you will find that calculus becomes a lot more interesting than mindless computation when we consider functions defined on higher dimensional spaces / the complex plane / manifolds.)

Are you talking about Differential Geometry? I flicked through a book on it the other day and it really seems to be heavily reliant on Metric Spaces and more advanced Vector Calculus.

Amongst other things. The two most obvious directions calculus can take us are to differential geometry via vector calculus, and to complex analysis which can be one of the most beautiful branches of mathematics.
