    Probability query.

    If you get a question that goes something like, "If a die is thrown twice, what is the probability that the sum of the outcomes will be 7?" Is there ANY WAY to possibly do this without drawing up a table of possible outcomes? I mean a MATHEMATICAL WAY!! No tree diagrams, no diagrams period. Anyone?

    Reduction Potentials...

    When you're over worrying about your exam in what, 3 weeks is it, you may like to explain to me what the reduction potentials mean (i.e. Eo value). I mean, I know they're a measure of "electron volts", but this still means nothing to me. For example, what does it mean for Lithium to have the...

    Gravitational Potential Energy.

    I just don't get how Ep can be negative. So far I understand that as you move further away from the source of gravity, tending to infinite, the Ep will tend towards 0. But in addition to my misunderstandings, I can't quite grasp how an object gains gravitational energy as you displace it up...

    Australian Business Week

    A while back, I received a scholarship for the Australian Business Week State Program 2002 at Sydney university and it was damn worth it - even though I didn't do business studies. Both year 11s and 12s can apply for it if it is offered at your school. Although current year 12s probably...

    Here's a listing of language/visual techniques I compiled...

    For visuals, you can comment on... 1) body language (a downcast head to represent sadness or disappointment for example) 2) contrasts in colour - in more detail, you can comment on symbols, such as black or dark colours representing dark concepts such as sadness and white or bright...

    A few questions.

    1 ) I know this is a trivial question, but the SDD syllabus is picky and stupid, so meh. Do the programmers actually partake in the 'planning' stage? I mean I thought they plan algorithms during that stage? Some sources disagree there. 2) Also, can someone explain to me what boundaries...

    Derivation for Simpson's law.

    I posted this on the temp forums but that place got trashed so here it is. Can someone provide me with a GOOD explanation of how Simpson's law was derived? Also, I find it hard to believe that Simpson was a soldier who had nothing better to do with his time in the trenches than mathematics...
