I attended the Dallas course and I thought it was not a bad thing to do - I liked the condescending manner in which he went over things as it kind of instilled in me the fact that I needed to do a bit of practise on stuff like the shapes and the section 2-type stuff. However, as can already be...

I agree with that - it's easier to find regular, willing tutees in maths as opposed to any other subject. Especially Maths extension 2.

where did you come across this question? Edit: Slide, you pre-empted me there.

It's going to be hard to disprove with those kind of marks...especially when some of the questions allow you to get 115% percent and possibly even more. This thread may be more useful after the mid-year exams.

nah, there's not that much pressure to perform at our school - they want the top 30 or so to perform, but they realise that everyone has their own talents, so as long as you've got a certain level of aptitude (ie proficiency with respect to literacy, writing skills, communication etc) they don't...

the optional closing statement isn't too important - I didn't write anything in it and got a place in the end, while others packed info into it and got in, so yes it's highly optional.

make that Nithin saying hi as well, and repeat the last bit on my behalf.

maths is going fine atm, xiao - I have a feeling it's going to take off soon with matrices and the linear algebra course starts next week I think. We have a 1902 quiz week after next but it's only on vectors so it won't be too difficult I think.

It's just a combination of the two major ideas in this thread- alkenes have lower BP/Mp than alkanes because a.) there are less atoms present in the non-polar alkene as opposed to alkane leading to lower van der waals' interactions, and b.) the rigidity of the double bond entails that the...

I'd assume it would be in the syllabus given the electrochem topic in the production of materials module. It's fairly easy to test and involves the application of a few simple rules in any case, so I can't see why you wouldn't be expected to know it.

no, I think he was doing nanotech combined with international studies, though he did get a uow law offer this time round.

hey, it's burgo! That's another one from sgs offering services at bos...

Well if the 2nd reaction was denoted as an equilbrium then Le Chatelier's principle would apply and thus the second reaction would tend to shift to the left due to the increase in bisulfite ion concentraion. At this point, the situation becomes slightly tricky - not only are you increasing the...

It says so in his profile in any case :cool:

You are right about nothing happening, but that's not the reason. There is water present in ther form of the acid rain, and the Na2SO4 will dissolve in it due to its ionic nature. The reason is that the second reaction is given as one that goes completely to the right - ie it is not given as an...

definitely alley-cat, lemmings, aquanoid, wolf3-D, prince of persia, game called apogee??, stunts, this F1 racing game by Accolade that's about 15 years old I think...hmm brings back memories...

the summerschool in january taught the theory tested in the selection exams in march, and the labs were geared towards preparing the scholars for a final lab exam on the final day of the summerschool, which counted as 40% of marks in the selection process. The theory component constituted the...

well they got his surname in another thread.

The fundamental theorem of algebra states that every polynomial of degree at least one has at least one zero over C. Arnold assumes this result. Using this, he goes on to prove that every polynomial of degree n has exactly n zeroes over C.

I was just fooling around with that call - hence the emoticon at the end of the sentence...plus I know these guys pretty well :)
