Conics and conical pendulums aren't the same. Conics are 2-d geometry involving ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, and it's basically algebraic or co-ordinate geometry. Conical pendulums are basically masses hanging on a string, swinging around in circles, involving mechanics of...

go look at the top 10 ppl at your school last year and wot UAI they got. It might be a good indication...you seem to be almost topping everything, so it'll depend on how you go compared to everyone else in the hsc...

no, it was becos they were afraid if some not-so-good ppl did it it would scale everyone's internal marks down. Yeh, some ppl applied, and then dropped out a fortnight later, yet the maths dept didn't bother replacing the dropouts, and some who really wanted to get in din because the yr11 3u...

my tutor recommended me to, when you write each line, check that it follows logically from the previous step before you continue on. It might take a little longer to do the question, but it's better if it works for you. Idunno, i've never tried it.

Your brain will be sweating under all that hair, eventually overheating and causing you to think slower.

not trying to patronise or show off anything, just trying to say don't slack off and start bludging if you're the type of person who comes first in your skool, because there's a lot of smart ppl out there, so you should be aiming higher...:D

i would guess, if u want to convert dec to bin, you do this: say 493: divide by 2. If there's a remainder, the last digit is 1. Otherwise it is 0. Get the whole number quotient (i.e. 493/2 = 246 + remainder, 246 is the quotient), and do it again. 246 has no remainder, so the next digit...

thus it explains why the n'th shell has 2n^2 electrons at max, and also why the periodic table is structured like so if u really want the details: n - principal quantum number: progresses from 1, 2, 3, ... for each n, we can divide the electrons in terms of: l - angular quantum no...

yes, but his coming first in his school has no indication of how well he'll go in the HSC. That was wot i mean.:D

I reckon integration is the easiest one to screw up: I'm the type that would make mistakes such as the integral of 1/(5x) = ln(5x) + C. Stupid things like that. Probability is ok as long as you know wot's actually happening. People find it hard because they don't.

sammi's new album's pretty good...

sorri if this sounds a bit pessimistic, critical or even offensive, but it also depends on wot skool you went to...

No, not everyone in ruse's good at maths They had 110 apply for 4unit, but they limit the number to 75.

call the first function value f(0), the last function value f(2n), where there are 2n intervals each with width h "wot weird letters...!?" simpson's rule is: V = (h/3)(f(0) + 4f(1) + 2f(2) + 4f(3) + 2f(4) + ... + 2f(2n-2) + 4f(2n-1) + f(2n))

An exam is generally "fair" if I do well in it (which is not very often these days). Otherwise it's fucked and it's totally unfair.

hmm...i generally tell ppl wot marks i got. As if i care if they start rubbing it in that they beat me. If they do, ppl just generally start gossiping about how such and such is such a d***. However, it's cool when you actually beat someone. It's cool when some annoying person asks you and...

is that the guy with the really airy voice?

Yup, my plan's sorta similar to Nelly's and mjor's 1) you do a standard essay from one of the past papers (say last year's HSC), and you hand it in to the teacher. 2) If she says it's crap, repeat (1). 3) Otherwise, study your essay: a) It should be in an intro-body-conclusion...

another way would be to list all the formulas you "need" to learn, and then learn how to derive them all. If you can't do that, there's half-half chance you won't be able to do the related problems anyway. Like stuff like sums-to-products and products-to-sums you're not supposed to memorise...

we have around 70something... is that right?
