    Finishing the 3u paper.

    Do you mean how many people actually produce an answer to each question or how many people produce almost all correct answers for each question? If the latter, not many would be able to complete the test with almost completely correct answer. However I suspect there would be many who complete...

    Would it be a good idea to know of any 4u techniques?

    If i were to do engineering next year at unsw photovaltics was my choice of stream since electrical/computing/software are not allowed. But I think im going to stick with just plain BSc CompSci/BSc (maths) rather than BSc compsci/BE

    which is the best physics book?

    The only one I ever used was context, its where I developed all my notes from so I guess that'd be my choice

    binomial theorem

    Here are some sites i gave to my student. Dont see them helping any more than a textbook would though: http://www.acts.tinet.ie/binomialtheorem_674.html http://library.thinkquest.org/C0110248/algebra/biexpintro.htm http://hsc.csu.edu.au/maths/ext1/binomial_theorem/140/binomial.html...

    Trig question

    haha you continue to impress me who_loves_maths. The other solution given is pretty similar to KFunk's except using tan: a + b + c = pi/2 a + b = pi/2 - c tan(a + b) = tan(pi/2 - c) tan(a + b) = 1/tan(c) (tan(a)+ tan(b))/(1 - tan(a)tan(b)) = 1/tan(c) (h/10 + h/20)/(1 -...

    Trig question

    Yeah i agree its not the best method and probably not the process i wouldve went through (or thought of) to get the answer.

    Trig question

    Ill give one other method now. Its not the most elegant of the two I have but it still works: Let the respective angles be a, b and c. Let h be the height and u be the 'standard unit' tan a = h/(10u) tan b = h/(20u) tan c = h/(30u) Let x = h/u tan a = x/10 -> a = arctan(x/10)...

    Trig question

    From the looks of it I suspect it may be.

    2001 moriah solutions

    hmm its weird im 100% sure i added those along with a bunch of others from maths ext 1. I even remember them coming up at the front page under 'recently added notes.' Ill ask the admins if there could be a problem.

    Trig question

    Nice work you got it right :) There are 2 other ways ive seen it done. Ill post other solutions tomorrow if no one else posts them first.

    Would it be a good idea to know of any 4u techniques?

    heh id probably be seeing you there too. Except next year ill be starting straight with 2nd year units except for discrete maths

    Genetics Challenge Question

    From memory, nutrient deprivation interrupted the normal growth and division cycle of a cell, thus allowing them to 'reprogram' it with the new nucleus

    Just got my Optus Broadband connection :)

    grr i need to get a new router now to use wireless since my current one only supports adsl. Anyone interested in a linksys wireless g router/adsl modem, i may have to sell it if i cant find my receipt.

    Semester 1 results (2005)

    Im pretty sure they add soft1001 to everyone, i have it also. If you recall there were many 2nd year students on the discussion boards helping out first year students. I assume they expect the same from us.

    Trig question

    Here is a random trig question i found in this science magazine that I think is a little different from normal. (Its not necessarily hard) Im not sure if this identity is taught, and is needed for one method of getting the answer so ill post it: tan(90 - x) = 1/tan(x) (or tan(pi/2 - x) =...

    Would it be a good idea to know of any 4u techniques?

    no its usyd, and 1901 is the advanced differential calculus course.

    90+ for physics

    yes it was

    90+ for physics

    87 = 95 in 2004 so id agree with xrtzx

    Would it be a good idea to know of any 4u techniques?

    haha i always make electronic versions of notes 'in case'. Its gonna be hell doing the math1902 ones though

    Would it be a good idea to know of any 4u techniques?

    FF: If youre interested, heres some stuff you could take a look at. Theres a proof for one form of l'Hopital's rule in the 2nd one. There may be some general spelling errors because I havent had time to look over them after I initially converted them to electronic form, but most would be ok...
