I can see that you history people delight in the thought of suffering people...

my teacher reads from the textbook when she talks to us. She reads so slowly it's a challenge in itself not to doze off...

Well there are tissues (body tissues) in your body (duh!) that are subjected to pressure. examples are blood vessels, etc. The pressure from the inside sort-of is balanced by the pressure from the outside (on earth, at 1atm). Even though perhaps the pressure inside is greater than outside...

Hmm... (2 + 9x)^4 = 2^4 + (4C1)*(2^3)*9*x + (4C2)*(2^2)*(9^2)*x^2 + (4C3)*(2)*(9^3)*x^3 + 9^4*x^4 (5 + 2/x)^5 = 5^5 + (5C1)*(5^4)*2*x^(-1) + (5C2)*(5^4)*(2^2)*x^(-2) + (5C3)*(5^2)*(2^3)*x^(-3) + (5C4)*(5)*(2^4)*x^(-4) + 2^5*x^(-5) To get your coeff of x, we pair the coeffs of x with...

What pisses me off sometimes is that it diverges into different fields in english (2unit anyways): For change, you have to make up something philosophical. For transformations, you need to study history

Permutations and Combinations are the best part of maths. It's the part where you can be elegant and find the shortest way to do each problem...

I agree...i can't solve very maths questions without writing it onto paper...

I know this is irrelevant, but you need to be open minded because you need to consider every case, one for each (or each type) of values your program will pass into each function. It's called debugging.

English is not the only manifestation of "imagination". Nor is mathematics a field of pure knowledge. Those who are successful in mathematics or science have imagination and innovation when they carry out their research. The flaw in this argument is that either a)you've automatically...

The RACI chem quiz (junior) used to be like that too. They'd give you a paragraph of information, and then ask a multi on the information above. It's like a blody comprehension test. Well, the message is to allow ppl to appreciate how fortunate they are that they're doing a HSC where maths...

In fact I know a lot of smart people who don't do SDD, by smart I mean 100.00 UAI estimates. :p

Hehehe...Mercury's also right I use english to communicate with non-mathematicians, and there's an awful lot of these around. I use english to communicate with mathematicians, because maths is inappropriate for normal communication. In fact I use english to communicate, because that's it's...

Rebuttal for MoonlightSonata: 1) First of all, it's argument, not "arguement". 2) You said "The fact remains that English is of far more significance than maths, because it pertains to our level of thinking". Your level? It's an aspect of thinking. Surely you don't assume there's only one...

Ive a feeling no one gets the joke...

"trying your best" is a goal you'll never achieve. It's better to aim for a high goal and miss, than it is to make it clear over a low goal, IMHO. In other words, dun worry if you miss, if you know you've set yourself a high goal. Just make sure there is no regrets. As for studying, i...

"Beauty" in maths is called elegance. Unlike elegance in english, which is essentially pages and pages of descriptive crap, elegance in mathematics involves neat, short, innovative proofs. This is where "free will" comes in. You have the freedom to solve problems any way you like, as long as...

Question 8 (15 marks) a) State Pythagoras' theorem (1) b) Explain the importance of mathematical advances in ancient greek society. (2) c) Discuss the impacts of Pythagoras' theorem to modern society. (2) d) How does new mathematical discoveries such as the proof to Fermat's last...

multiple guess is always fun! no creativity required...

Actually I'm having fun at 4unit. It's the only subject which is challenging.

In fact, if you get the same raw mark for both, it's easier to get band 6 in 4u because the questions are supposed to be much harder...remember 4u is scaled sky-high
