Trust me, the scariest thing when learning to drive is having a giant truck right up behind you and going through uphill overtaking zones. The truck tries to overtake, gets halfway, gives up because of the hill, and slots straight back in half a metre behind you. You're stuck on 80 and when you...

The school rank gives a general indication of how well people at that school are expected to go. It is, however, everyone's individual marks that decide how well your school goes. Even a very good school can have a very bad year, and people can buck trends. As with a class that is spread out...

I have my P-plates. Woohoo for freedom in the holidays! As for study... I'll make myself do some. Eventually. I need a break though. I think everyone does. :p I_F

One thing I'm really envious of is the iLife suite for Macs. Jeez, Apple takes care of you guys well... iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, Garageband, iCalendar... absolutely no Windows equivalent for that package. I_F

10 months to go. We can do it! :p I_F

My arm really gives me fits too after a writing-heavy exam, but I usually try to shrug it off. I guess a lot of it is to do with practise - make sure you do some writing in the holidays so you don't lose speed or clarity. Try not too grip your pen too hard (that will kill after a couple of...

Don't repeat Ext.1. That is a top mark. :) I_F

That's nowhere near enough information to give a good answer, but I'll try. UAI is based on how well you do in your best 10 units. There is no way that not doing a subject will severely impact your UAI, unless you would have blitzed that subject. If you do well enough in Maths Advanced, not...

At least your schools get mentioned. :p I_F

Another solution is (if the drive is new) that the disk you're trying to read is burned and the drive is rejecting it. I've seen a few newer disk drives reject burned CDs as part of tougher copy protection. I_F

Not when the subject is compulsory. I_F

You'll handle it much better if you work through it with your class. I found integration to be one of those topics which I just needed someone there explaining it - it's much harder to do it across a forum. I_F

50C8/48C6=50!/(8!42!)*(6!42!)/48! =50*49/(8*7) [42! cancel out, 50!=50*49*48! cancels with 48!] =25*7/4 =175/4 Can't be bothered typing it back the right way around. But you could be bothered typing an extra 10 words... I_F

Very briefly, integration is the process of finding the area under a curve - the reverse to differentiation, which is the process of finding the slope of a curve. The basic theory behind integration is similar to differentiation bby first principles - if you draw a rectangle under your curve...

man some forums, their mods just download it off bittorent Unfortunately, if you get caught with an illegal copy of vBulletin, nasty things happen to you, your board, and your reputation, and I doubt the BoS admins want that. can u get a blogger into vbulletin? With a lot of fiddling...

The "primitive function" is the anti-derivative, and yes, they are found through reversing differentiation. Integration itself also involves primitive functions, so make sure you learn how to do it. I_F

I believe that to upgrade vbulletin you have to purchase a new version, so there may not be an update for some time. I_F

My God, we took Today/Tonight and ACA to pieces in English this term. Woohoo for Frontline! I_F

I also have a Physics Prac Assessment on Thursday. Its on the Space topic and we have to bring scissors and a stop watch. Is there anything else they could give us apart from trolleys/balls down ramps etc? I believe you'll be tested on the pendulum experiment - scissors to cut the string to...

I'm aiming to finish as much of the 2-unit course as I can. Just Exponential/Logarithms, Trig functions, and Applications of Calculus to the Physical world to go! :p I_F
