    Is this fair?

    Does it actually matter? Just because she picked longer texts doesn't mean her analysis will be better than yours. If anything, it probably means she'll do worse -- an analysis of a longer text will always seem more disjointed.

    HSC 2013 MX2 Marathon (archive)

    Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon FYI, this same question, but with cos instead of sin, was marked as one of the hardest questions in our algebra exercises book for Higher Maths 1A.

    hsc mark

    I got 98 in MX1. I didn't get my raw marks back for it, but I marked it against Terry Lee's answers and I got 67-68/70.

    Copyright: Idea vs. Expression

    The way I understand it, patents protect ideas, copyrights protect expressions of ideas (i.e. tangible manifestations of those ideas). For example, you can't copyright the idea of a search engine, or a band name, but you can copyright the code used to write that search engine, or a song that the...

    mathematical induction step 4

    Eek. Wouldn't count on this, especially since it's mathematically false. You should at least specify integer values of n.

    99.95 ATAR, who? How? Why?

    I don't think this is gonna happen during the HSC, unless you're a massive alcoholic.

    99.95 ATAR, who? How? Why?

    Sydney University and UNSW also offer similar scholarships (99.95 at USyd, 99.90+ at UNSW). I didn't get 99.95, but I know a couple of people who did. They are all incredibly bright and motivated and wanted to genuinely do well, not just get into their uni course.

    Sum of Partial Fractions. Help

    Learn partial fractions? I think it might be in the integration section of your textbook, since it's useful for integration. If not, it's in polynomials.

    COMP1911 or ENGG1811??

    fucking tell me about it. R is what happens when a group of statisticians think they can make a computing tool without knowing shit about computing. a duct-taped conglomerate of syntactical nightmares precariously balanced on the shoulders of a zombified type system resurrected from...

    Goldy's Raw Marks

    Turns out it wasn't a miscount in physics, it's just that the "raw examination mark" they provide isn't actually raw -- it's scaled based on the option topic, and Q2Q scaled down. Very misleading :P Eng advanced belonging was Romulus, My Father. EX2 was a critical response (in case it matters)...

    Sup peeps, I got my raw mark reports for everything except maths (I know where I went wrong) and EX1 (I never want to be reminded of that paper again). Eng ext2: external mark: 49/50 RAW: 45.5/50 (sheesh harsh marking) Major Work: 37/40 Reflection Statement: 8.5/10 Eng adv: external...

    That's an odd question. As a discipline, computer science isn't sexist (how can it be?). However, casual sexism is unfortunately quite common in the programming world. As people become more aware of the problem (which they are; search "sexism programming" on Google and you'll find dozens of...

    he's right... CS is notoriously girl-less. that's why they give huge scholarships for women in engineering and all that

    I'm a guy doing compsci who is very antisocial and would thus not be of much use to you.
