    MATH2601 Higher Linear Algebra

    Question from 2016 2601 paper: $\noindent Let $G$ be a group. For any $g \in G$ we define the set \newline \newline $C_g = \{ x \in G \hspace{2mm} | \hspace{2mm} gx = xg \}$ \newline \newline Prove that $C_g$ is a subgroup of $G$. \newline \newline I am not entirely sure where to even begin...

    MATH2601 Higher Linear Algebra

    a^2 = e \implies a^2 b = b \implies a (ab) = b \implies a = b . So this cannot be true. a^2 = a \implies a = e Which also cannot be true, so by elimnation a^2 = b

    By the same token, how do we prove a^{2} = b in the first place?

    USyd Chatter Thread 2017

    Hoo boy, The USA could have just used the INFO1903 Midsem instead of that MOAB. Note to future people who have no coding experience wanting to try out CS: fuck advanced informatics :)

    How do you get over feeling competitive?

    I think it's good for you, with a bit of a proviso that you actually like the people you are competing with. I found a great technique was just being ultra competitive with my closest friends all the time. The people I didn't like I usually didn't give a shit about so it didn't really help in...

    Complex number calculator necessary for maths ext 2?

    I used mine quite a bit and in reality there is no serious disadvantage to owning one. It can help you get 1 mark questions in a matter of seconds and also check your arithmetic on any yucky computations. From a competitive perspective, if it's allowed to be used then you can assume other...

    Anyone else get an email for the TSP program? If so what are your areas of interest? Personally I put down Financial Math, Pure Math and Computer Science.

    Questions for those who got a 95+ Atar

    1. Approximately how many hours a day did you dedicate to study/homework each day I got home around 7-8pm most weekdays as I played Soccer and Chess, and was a Cadet Officer at school - which basically only left my Monday/Wednesday nights free for me to get home at around 4:30. On Mondays I...

    Enrolling in ECMT1020?

    Yeah I'll have a look through - I think it may be being funny since it seems to think MATH1905 is a prereq, by which case it won't really matter. For that matter, do I have to pick any semester 2 subjects now? Since a lot of the subjects I want to do require certain criteria based on Sem1 subjects

    Enrolling in ECMT1020?

    So I'm enrolling for Bachelor of Advanced Science, and just picking my electives - but I can't seem to select this subject. I'm fairly sure I should be able to as I can't see any prohibitions.
