The syllabus allows you to learn topics in any order, theoretically you are allowed to learn all the hsc topics in yr 11 and the prelim ones in yr 12 :)

It would be the mark reported to you by board of studies, ie. not the raw marks.

Although i dont agree with that, I personally am not doing a maths degree to get a job, and I'm sure many of the others on here arent either, that's what my comp sci degree will be for.

Go for it I say. I only did 3 unit, it didnt stop me from taking up advanced maths for my degree (not doing maths degree) this year at uni. I did ok in it so im switching unis next year to do a maths major. :) Any advantages 4 uniters have in first year uni maths is quickly taken away after the...

er no it isnt, you will do some of the 4u stuff again, namely integration and possibly volumes. You will be introduced to linear algebra, which you dont do in 4 unit

Ooh pick me pick me! Do I count? I haven't finished 4 unit yet, but i'll see you in the lecture theatre next year slidey ;)

Component B is allowed to make up 20% of the 2 unit maths exam. If you look at one of the things component B stipulates: [These questions test a students ability to] analyse and solve unfamiliar problems, construct logically sound solutions and recognise limitations to the validity of...

... :rolleyes: :p

Not necessarily, but most likely it would. It all depends on what the criteria is and the relationship between the sides.

Yes, but you cant assume the answer is what you need, you need to test it always.

If you have dy/dx, you need to solve it by making it equal to 0. I dont know what you mean by subbing something into it :S For those area type questions, dy/dx will most likely have 2 solutions when you make it equal 0, you then need to test these solutions to see which ones a max and which is a...

Stats goes way beyond punching numbers in a calculator, finding mean, median etc. In fact we are allowed to use a statistical program to evaluate data at usyd, because thats not the important part of what you learn. There are three main topics in first year at usyd, data analysis (which is where...

I've had a linksys one for some time now, i have never had to touch it once since I set it up.

Yeah, define 'poorer areas'

I've seen the maths exams in victoria and to be honest I much prefer the nsw one. Sure, nsw doesnt go as far as it could, but a lot of the maths in victoria is applied maths, as opposed to the 4 unit exam which is mainly pure maths. The vic one isnt as heavily calculus based either, which has...

how so ?

Yeah it actually works out nicely, you just need to make sure you group them the right way and use algebraic laws, dont try evaluate each individual term on its own

I get (i think) 17sqrt(17)/6

Do you mind posting the answer, LuthienAdrianna?
