I almost have less course content to study for ext. 2 maths than 2 Unit students.

Don't Pick: - Chemistry... (Dumbed down syllabus, regurgitating information, overly reflective on society.... gah) Do Pick: - Ext. 2 Math (It has a big hype but it's quite enjoyable. It's good to have a challenge) - Music (Music is good fun, watch out for the modernist stuff in year...

I second all the stuff that slide said about 4U math. It's probably the most stimulating course in the HSC since you are required to think rather than regurgitate learnt information onto a page (as with pretty much every other course). If you enjoy math, then go for it. I had to fight for about...

I got burnt but I've learnt to take the pain...

As has been said, HSC bio isn't exactly the kind of stuff they're using in med. Like all the HSC sciences it's been 'humanatized' a bit. If you consider all the medical imaging technology is used you can see why a basic understanding of electromagnetic radiation and its behaviour would be...

This thread misses the true meaning of funk. Immerse yourself in some P-Funk mythology/grooves then go listen to: - James Brown - Bootsy Collins - Earth Wind & Fire - Any old funk/motown/RnB in general (RnB does not mean ashanti)

For number one, consider the basic shape of a cubic polynomial and think of the local minima and local maxima that a cubic ussually has. When the local maxima touches the x-axis (to make a double root) you end up with < 3 distinct roots. When the local minima touches the axis (likewise) you end...

That's pretty much it, let z = x + iy |z - (&radic;3 + i)| = 1 |(x-&radic;3) + (y-1)i| = 1 &radic;[(x-&radic;3)² + (y-1)²] = 1 (x-&radic;3)² + (y-1)² = 1 , I'll write the next bit in a sec --> Like thunderdax was saying with the circle...

It's hip, hip hip, hip hip, hip hip, hip hip , hip hip ...

Our 4U exams are always scheduled during the 2U.

Has anyone on this forum taken philosophy past the second year? ( is anyone planning to do a major or minor in it?) If so, how have you found it? (i.e has it matched up to your expectations? are the topics interesting/taught well?)

My bad.

Tell me 'bout it. It's nasty. It's also that little bit worse when you want to do an arts/medicine or science/medicine combo like I do. So many little tests and forms and interviews and ...

Personally I find spotlight to be 10 times better than jacaranda. It has more depth and more questions but perhaps less relevance in some places. If you like the pretty pictures go for jacaranda but I think spotlight has more to offer you in the way of depth of information.

I'm doing the medentry workshops this weekend (I organised a group for the discount ages back).

Depends on the difficulty of your tests. Ask your teachers how your school ussually performs and try and get a feel for you place within the year.

My timetable sucks ---> I've got concert tickets to see Sigur Ros the night before my Math ext. 1 exam (dilemma). Also, I have chemistry and ext. 1 english back to back which will be death.

Sounds about right. If you just switch the x's and y's then: x = e^y + 1/e^y (e^y)² - xe^y + 1 = 0 (quadratic in e^y) e^y = (x &plusmn; &radic;[x² - 4])/2 y = log_e((x - &radic;[x²...

That would sound more convincing if it wasn't coming from the person who is currently topping our year...;)

It has died down a lot now but during the periods in which the Iraq war was getting massive media coverage there was a lot of hate being thrown around. As schools go mine is very tolerant and open minded but it was still cool to hate America for quite some time. I'm half American myself and...
