    UMAT Courses

    In my humble opinion, simple things like keeping an open body posture and being conscious of whether you appear attentive or not are surely just two examples of little refinements you can make by prepping...

    If you're stressed about this year, I have a good book for you

    Not that I want to cast any aspersions upon your integrity...

    History Extension Log (All His Ext people please look)

    I fibbed the entire thing the morning (1 am?) it was due (last day of term 2). My teacher actually went through it and found some holes, one of which was quite embarassing: I claimed to have talked to him about my project at school on a day he was on leave. Bear this in mind as I answer these...

    Depends on the scholarship.

    Road not taken or Journey to the interior

    Well that makes things a bit difficult doesn't it? If I had followed your advice in '05, I would have written nothing about Clueless or Antony and Cleopatra, not to mention the Skryznecki poetry. Big problem!

    Road not taken or Journey to the interior

    Journey to the Interior is retarded and should be avoided at all costs.

    Which book t use?

    It doesn't matter which 4u textbook you use as long as you understand the content and practise a few harder questions from elsewhere.

    Schools who improved markedly on last year

    And watch next year as normal coverage resumes and Sefton plummets back to the abyss from which it sprung in 1324 BC.

    NMSS - National Mathematics Summer School

    I haven't got sheet on hand but Rylands isn't coming I think. I am quite excited about Korner... :) Keypad... *shakes head* So they only unleash you on the IG's? :D

    USYD Scholarship Application

    And off I go again... at least until HSC results come out. It would be quite sad to waste such a good holiday on an internet forum... :p *hint hint* (grr at making me take the German-English translator...) : ) - you got a reserve letter eh. hmm. So their neglect of me can't mean that...

    USYD Scholarship Application

    Received no letter whatsoever hmm. Did anyone get a letter saying that they were offered a scholarship pending 95?

    2006 poets, where art thou?

    In response to your question: yes I have done EE2 though I don't think that fact is particularly relevant. (Short story, though I did spend a lot of time researching the poetry medium because I did experiment with blending the two). It's true that every medium has its complications, but at...

    2006 poets, where art thou?

    heh at all this stuff about "the medium chooses you" and poetry being "intensely personal" I've always believed poetry is 99% showmanship and 1% dartboard... rather like any other medium. :p

    4u Mathematics Marathon V 1.0

    AQB ||| AFQ and APC ||| AEP (equiangular) So AP^2 = AE.AC = AB.AF (product of intercepts of secant from external point) = AQ^2 (Skipping all the various 'angle in a semicircle' steps...)

    4u Mathematics Marathon V 1.0

    It was more of a hint to stay away. :p You have an interesting solution that doesn't really use circle properties. I'm grateful that you posted that. (IMHO the beautiful thing about these sorts of qs is that there's probably 20 different ways to do it)

    4u Mathematics Marathon V 1.0

    Q2, without using the spoiler (I'll leave that method to someone in Yr 11) ∫(Ln[x + Sqrt[x^2+1]])^2 dx Let u = Ln[Sqrt[x^2+1] + x] Then obviously -u = Ln[Sqrt[x^2+1] - x] du = dx/Sqrt[x^2+1] = 2dx/(e^[u] + e^[-u]) And then the substitution is made possible. Q3. (Quite difficult, but...

    A Comparison of Textbooks

    Cambridge is the best textbook and you will not need another. Enough said.

    Who plans to continue doing maths at uni?

    i) No. You post half page things over little points and it's all waffle anyway. ii) I was using that as an example that was clear cut. If you could see the truth in BA = BA Advanced, you could then graduate to see the BScAdv = BScAdv Maths. iii) It's called making ppl with a shiny 99 uai not...

    Who plans to continue doing maths at uni?

    Wrong again. My example is true: BA = BA Advanced (and don't kid me)

    Who plans to continue doing maths at uni?

    I'll be USYD, grab a standard degree, call it 'advanced' (but not change another thing), say only 10 people can do the 'advanced' variant and watch the cut-off jump 20 points. It sounds better... but would you not say it is for all intents and purposes identical? (no offence to those studying...
