I wrote these myself from what I could remember of the exam and by the answers on the forum. I got bored so I might do some more later. If people could post exam questions that would be great.
Here it is
Hey, so I am applying to a few scholarships at UNSW and just wanted to know what I should do to maximise my chances of getting one. Should I get heaps or references? Do I need a document to back up everything I say? Preferably, answer if you or somehow you know received a scholarship that wasn't...
I know this isn't necessarily the best place to post this thread but I know that there are a lot of people who study Maths at university that browse this forum and I believe this question applies to a lot of the people in this forum.
Where is the best place to study mathematics at university...
okay guys, when I first saw this I was dumbfounded but now I know its proof that all the mathematics we know is WRONG!
okay so suppose:
x=y
then
xy=y^2
xy-x^2=y^2-x^2
x(y-x)=(y-x)(y+x)
x=y+x
but x=y
so x=2x
and 1=2!

Okay, so I am in the class of 2012. I go to a pretty terrible school but I do extension 2 maths, extension 2 english and physics. I did the chemistry HSC at tafe and got 88, I came first in my class (That doesn't say much though). It was all of year 11 and 12 in 3 terms so I am relatively happy...
