    Any instrument players?

    I would love to learn piano... Where should I start? Ask your ex-school's Head of Music about piano teachers - whether any teach at the school, who's good, etc. Alternatively, look up "piano teachers" in the phone book, as many teach independently. If you have a piano in your house, that's a...

    Accentuate the positives

    Nicking other people's notes is nowhere near as effective as making your own. For a start, making your own notes means you've actually read through the material, which is always a good start. Using other people's notes means that you're too lazy/haven't made the time to summarise yourself what...

    Best Networked Games

    Warcraft III - Frozen Throne and Starcraft: Brood War (oldbie but goodie) are very good games for network play. Command and Conquer Generals - Zero Hour isn't too shabby either. All of them are real time strategy titles that involve building an army and killing your opponent's army (Starcraft is...

    Help With Question (series)

    1. Find the first vale of n for which the sum of the series 20 + 4 + 4/5 + ... is greater than 24.85 Simple solution: It's the 4th term (n=4). a = 20 (first term) r = 1/5 (common ratio) The first 3 terms (given) add up to 24.80. Calculating the fourth term gives us 4/25, so the sum of...

    English- Area of Study- Discovery help

    I advise you not to bother and to enjoy the holidays (we did Justice and Equality for our Area of Study, by the way). You don't sound particularly enthused on the novel, and I think that tasks in the unit will be connected with the novel. So unless you want to read it now as well, go have some...

    Accentuate the positives

    Now at other schools, it's probably the norm, but for goodness sake Year 9 and 10, did you NOT get taught ANY morals? Our school's Year 9 is kinda disturbing too. You're not alone... I_F

    Integration involving Square Roots

    But the "integral" of a function is the total area of rectangles drawn from point a to point b under the function as the width of those rectangles goes to 0. Hence, the circle method is perfectly valid because it finds the exact area of each of the little rectangles under the function from 0 to...

    damnnnnnnnnnn

    You have 12 units. That gives you a safety buffer of 2 units as only 10 units (2 of English, plus 8 others) are counted for your UAI. Like the others have said, you haven't seriously dented your chances of getting 90. However, for each of the next assessments, try to score as high as you can to...

    HSC Assessments- Thoughts/Results

    Did you top it because you were smart or were they easy? What uai do you want? Well, Merry Christmas. Happy holidays! Our 4-unit assessment could have been much harder, but all the others were quite reasonable - English was an analysis task on truth and the media, Chemistry was an oral...

    ranking ..

    Usually, your rank in Year 11 is a good indicator of how you'll go in Year 12, since work habits and levels of understanding tend not to change too much. However, nothing from Year 11 carries over - you start with a clean slate and everyone has the chance to completely change the way they go...

    Integration involving Square Roots

    Integrate √(9-x2) between x=0 and x=3 There is a much, much easier way to do this type of question - the area of a circle, like you said. Don't bother with integration if you can use easier methods. :p This function is a semicircle above the x-axis with radius 3. Thus, its integral from 0 to...
