Science magazine has announced that Perelman's proof is the "breakthrough of the year" for 2006: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/reprint/314/5807/1848.pdf

Option 4 is best.

Congratulations to Stephanie Wan Jing Wang from James Ruse Agricultural High School for coming first in the state for Mathematics Extension 2 for 2006. The full list of first places for 2006 are available at http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/ebos/static/FSTIC_2006_12.htm which I put...

He's made it to the A-list for 2006 in today's Australian: It was a dazzling win by one of our most accomplished sons, and yet it went virtually unnoticed. On August 22, Adelaide-born mathematician Terence Tao, 31, won maths' equivalent of the Nobel Prize, the Fields Medal, awarded by the...

Yep. Especially for teachers - but maybe also for serious maths students. I typed up the notes yesterday which was a bit of a rush job. So I've fine-tuned it (apologies if that means you have to download again).

I put up some notes at http://users.tpg.com.au/nanahcub/mansw2006.pdf (Updated Dec. 14, 2006)

Even more obvious if you use Euler's formula e^iθ=cis(θ ) cis(t+s)=e^i(t+s)=e^ite^is=cis(t).cis(s). As for De Moivre's Theorem, (cis(θ ))ⁿ=(e^iθ)ⁿ=e^inθ=cis(nθ ) and true for...

The December AMS Notices have been released and carry a new article on the Fields medals at http://www.ams.org/notices/200611/comm-icm.pdf in which it says that the next Fields medals will be awarded on Aug. 19, 2010, in India at the Hyderabad International Convention Center.

ADE should be ADC

Describe the crap.

You can also do it with continued fractions.

I put up solutions for the 2003 paper at http://www.angelfire.com/ab7/fourunit/sol.pdf There is an alternative way to prove irrationality of pi at the end of the file http://users.tpg.com.au/nanahcub/1916-1989-2001.pdf

OK. I've voted now and ticked all the boxes.

I think there should be an "all the above" option in the list. That's the one I would have ticked. So I haven't voted. (For the record, I have actually taught at all these levels) Of course noone would be doing maths at uni if noone does maths at school. And noone will do maths at school if...

You should do them yourself. But I have put up some solutions for the 2003, 2004, 2005 HSC papers at http://www.angelfire.com/ab7/fourunit/sol.pdf http://www4.tpgi.com.au/nanahcub/2004hsc8bsol.pdf (8b only) http://www.angelfire.com/ab7/fourunit/2005hscsol.pdf respectively. I have printed...
