That is a very nice, fast method, YBK. Me likey. :) I_F

Prove that the roots of the equation ax2+bx+c=0 are [-b+sqrt(b2-4ac)] / 2a by completing the square. Next question: The angle of elevation of a flagpole from a point a certain distance away from its base is 20 degrees. After walking 80m toward the flagpole, the angle of elevation is...

No worries. There's always overlap between Chem and Physics, and Bio and Chem. When you get down to the very small bits of Chemistry, it morphs into Physics, even though it's still about atoms. :) I_F

Thanks a bunch, Riviet. Woo for the life-gripping confusion and generally deluded-ness of quarks! :D I_F

Brown does have a bad and annoyingly predictable habit of introducing the villain in the first few chapters of a book. I hope he doesn't do it again for Solomon Key. I'd be very, very disappointed if I can pick the end 5 minutes in. I_F

Heh. Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything taught me everything I know. :p I do physics and I'm looking at doing Quanta to Quarks for my elective, yes. And at the moment, I'm pretty sure that quarks are believed to be the fundamental particle... the very smallest you can get...

The rumour is that the next block will feature a "best of" mechanics theme, with a heap of the old mechanics brought back for one more go. That may just prove it... I_F

What rank are you in your class, and have you done any past papers? If you have, what do you average in those? I_F

Can you tell us whether the paper was harder, about the same, or easier than a past HSC paper (if you've seen any)? I_F

I'm pretty sure that when the balance of payments equals 0, credit (money coming in) and debit (money going out) equal each other, and there is equilibrium. However, countries almost never run in equilibrium: they run a trade surplus or deficit in the current account, and depending on the...

Your textbook should have case studies on Brazil and Poland (mine did). I found those very useful, since they had a lot of good information. I_F

True, but it's still harsh. I_F

Space and time are inextricably interwoven through relativity, but the "space" referred to is space in the sense of length, breath, and height, not space as in outer space. The idea of a "fabric" is a metaphor to try to help represent this idea. You could also call it the space-time continuum...

Next question: The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is given by S = 2πr(r + h), where r is the radius of its base and h is its height. Show that if a cylinder holds a volume of 54π m3, the surface area is given by the equation: S = 2πr2 + (108π)/r Hence find the radius that...

If you want a good UAI, then break up with her. That way you can focus on your subjects, work to your potential without any distractions, and reach high. Ouch. That was harsh. Very, very harsh... I_F

Once you get down to the atomic and subatomic level, Einstein's relativity stops working right, and in the last century physicists have developed quantum mechanics to try and explain how it all works. It just goes to show how little we really know when one of the pioneering documents of quantum...

[I'm assuming this is 15% p.a. interest] How's that? I_F

I think you have two separate networks - one which is yours, and another which your computer is detecting. When you sent up your network, did you make it secure (i.e. set up a password) or non-secure? More than that I can't really say. I_F

I'll agree with you that it's a good step forward, though I don't really like the way they have folders/active folder/message. It really puts the squeeze on the message for me on my laptop, though it's not as pronounced on the desktop. The way they currently have it set up makes it feel like...
