    Excel Books

    Haha, do a science degree at uni and no prescribed text will be less than $100.-. And then they want you to read a coule of others. Not cheap.

    Easy trig i cant do

    I don't see a t substitution! :) let I = ∫ cot(a/2) da ? let t=tan(a/2) dt/da = 0.5sec2(a/2)=(t2+1)/2 da = 2dt / (t2+1) therefore I = 2 ∫ dt/t(t2+1) let n=t2+1 dt=dn/(2(n-1)0.5) therefore I = ∫ dn/n(n-1) = - ∫ dn/(0.25-(n-0.5)2) =...

    use t substitution; let t = tan(x/2) dx = 2dt / (1+t2) sinx = 2t/1+t2 cosx = 1-t2/1+t2 ∫ dx/(cosx +sinx) = 2 ∫ dt/(-(t2-2t+1) +2) =2 ∫ dt/(2-(t-1)2) =ln(|21/2+(t-1)/21/2-(t-1)|)/21/2 + C =ln(|(21/2-1+tan(x/2))/(21/2+1- tan(x/2))|)/21/2 + C , x /= 3pi/4

    60% of Uni Students live below the Poverty Line

    This thread should be about people in genuinely poverish circumstances. It isn't fun to have to spend nearly all your money on food and have very little for luxury, but it is devastating when all your money can't even buy all your food. Maybe people should take a step back and see how...

    60 Minutes - Skin Cancer

    It is like all things in life, a thing of moderation. We are all aware of the problems of overexposure to the sun. No seems to care about underexposure. UV light (wavelengths 290-315nm, the energetic ones) are required for the photosythesis of vitamin D. Alternative sources exist as...

    Who Is Doing Nanotechnology At UNSW

    "It must be splendid to command millions of people in great national ventures, to lead a hundred thousand to victory in battle. But it seems to me greater still to discover fundamental truths in a very modest room with very modest meanstruths that will still be foundations of human...

    Would you boycott bali?

    On one hand we have Corby who may die if found guilty and there is an outcry and people are sending death threats. On the otherhand we propose that we allow torture to death from anyone who is suspected to be hiding information. We will see how long each issue is a talking point. One...

    60% of Uni Students live below the Poverty Line

    It's amazing how little you spend if you never spend anything at campus. I get my fair share of benefits from compulsory student unionism, like sports insurance and physio. Unigym is still hella expensive and so not within my means. For sporting clubs its going to be really hard to get...

    Anyone had an assignment where you had to make a model of a compound?

    Ahh molecular modelling .. brings back memories. 1st year chem allows the use of molecular modelling equipment, which everyone took as an excuse to smuggle sugar snacks into the exam!
