Taniyama and Shimura are two people, not 1 Wiles didn't prove their conjecture. Breuil, Conrad, Diamond and Taylor did. Wiles only proved the semistable case which was sufficient to prove Fermat's Last Theorem. I wrote a 1 page summary <a...

I would add Jean-Pierre Serre and Terry Tao to your lists. It is interesting that you are putting Euler at the top. Often people put Gauss at the top of such lists. Anyway if you are interested in Euler, you may want to read 5 new books on him called EULER AND MODERN SCIENCE N. N. Bogolyubov...

There's a new movie called Hard Problems to be released in 2008. It's about mathematics competitions (with particular focus on the 2006 IMO). The trailer is at http://zalafilms.com/hardproblems/hardproblemstrailer.mov The world premiere of the new movie is the highlight of the Joint...

Good teachers will not allow the amateurs at the Board of Studies to tell them what to teach.

itute's solutions are up now for ext 2: http://www.itute.com/mathline/nsw_bos_maths_ext2_sol2007.pdf

Solutions are up for 2007: Terry Lee's 4 unit: http://www.hsccoaching.com/Resources/2007%20Ext2.pdf Terry Lee's 3 unit: http://www.hsccoaching.com/Resources/2007%20Ext1.pdf itute's 4 unit: http://www.itute.com/mathline/nsw_bos_maths_ext2_sol2007.pdf if you are interested.

The 4 unit paper was too boring this year and last year. So I won't bother.

OK. You can put the solutions up then.

Well it's pretty short compared to some q7/8s. Maybe today you can just relax and not study at all!

I see you are to do your HSC in 2007. Don't do any past papers today. Just do one question. It's from the 1962 Putnam:

Yeah. Lol. Assiduously do each question well enough and you WILL know you are right. You don't need to see somebody else's solution. I only put up solutions if they raise more (and better) questions than they answer.

Ta. The other two are http://www.angelfire.com/ab7/fourunit and http://www.geocities.com/fourunitmaths and so far, together with the link AMorris provided, this totals 198 papers. Of course this will have to be updated next Monday to 199.

Main website: http://www.mansw.nsw.edu.au/pd/conference.htm The Board of Studies did a presentation today. Both the CLT and confidence intervals are gone. The Writing Brief will go up onto the BOS website soon. The ones there now are only drafts. Phase 2 of the project is now finished and...

There is also a syllabus mapping attached to the Ind. paper and it says it's testing Harder Ext. 1 Inequalities in this question. So I'm satisfied that it is adequately testing the syllabus. I also think it's good to have a variety of methods. So even though the others in HSC exams are...

Again I say it's a lot easier than the methods in past HSC exams.
