:p hey !

Re: Very experienced HSC tutor at Burwood, 98 for 3u, 96 for 4u This guy is a genius ! I can not begin to emphasise how great this guy is ! Completing my HSC in 2010, I had never been tutored and so was always worried about who was going to tutor me, and whether he’d do a good job or not...

That is a terrible drawing :D And he's talking about the external angles of a cyclic quadrilateral. He is right :)

hey man, i see ur doing advanced maths @ unsw do u have any advice for first semester/year :D ? im curious :]

Hahaha. This is soo funny. Not being good enough to do MATH1141. It's not going to get any easier at university. Should be fun though :) I think our first exam is in June. Should be fun guys ;)

Imo, and this is my opinion. Get yourself a solid private tutor. There are many out there.

Yes well. It comes from experience. When you're doing 4u parametrics you learn a lot. My best advice is to factorise whenever possible. Make every line of working out neater and neater. Try to eliminate ugly fractions immediately. Looking at : (2a)p^4 + (3a)p²+a, you can see how I put the...

Brilliant :D !

Look at mine ^^^^ Tell me which part of my working out you don't understand :) You have to factorise that numerator.

Hahahah! Parametrics always brings up a lot of algebra. You should see 4u conics (which is parametrics with hyperbolas etc etc), the algebra goes on and on :D So, by giving Q (x0,y0) we are working towards generating two equations which will consist of Q ONLY. 1)PS in perpendicular to QS...

By letting Q be (x0,y0) we have to set ourself a goal. We have TWO UNKNOWNS. If we somehow generate TWO equations both constituting of these TWO UNKNOWNS, they can be easily found through the process of simultaneous equations. The algebra isn't nice. Factorising involved. But deterministic has...

Yes. Foot ---> Human Foot ---> Located at the bottom OF: 1) Draw the tangent at P 2) Draw a line FROM S so that it is PERPENDICULAR TO the tangent at P 3) The Point of intersection is M. I've always disliked the "foot" terminology.

Development yes. Do well in development and you're looking at a great understanding of the particular section. Extension..NO. Lol. That's specified for people who really enjoy mathematics, require a challenge. For the 4unit people.

Here's another solution. I'm just going to make sure you understand what you're doing. I'm a big fan of understanding maths as it will help you A LOT >_>. Another thing to remember is that you should pick the FASTEST method in solving problems. determinisitc has found a very fast and elegant way...

Past papers is the key :]
