    USYD colleges?

    I wouldn't head off to college with a prejudice against old boys from private schools; you might not like your company.

    Could someone PLEASE get me out of misery?

    Well, he might have made a mistake, I just skimmed over it.

    Could someone PLEASE get me out of misery?

    It's just the same method the guy in the link above uses. Basically the light one moves up h0 metres, with a certain acceleration found from F=ma, till the heavy one hits the ground. Then the string becomes loose and the light one becomes a projectile. It's acceleration is now -g. Then...

    Could someone PLEASE get me out of misery?

    I got 2.014 and the general formula hmax=h0(M-m)/(M+m)+2h0 where h0 is initial height, M is larger mass and m smaller mass.

    Proving Trig identities

    Multiply the LHS by (1+sinA)/(1+sinA). The top is now (1+sinA)^2 and the bottom is the difference of two squares 1-(sinA)^2 = (cosA)^2 LHS = (1+sinA)^2/(cosA)^2 = [(1+sinA)/cosA]^2 = [1/cosA + tanA]^2

    Need textbooks?

    Ask someone at oweek. I took prof eng instead and if it's anything like that course you won't need one. For next semester you'll definitely want Engineering Mechanics, so if you see anyone selling that pick it up.

    Need textbooks?

    I imagine they'll all have lecture slides online. Kopystop (sorry I got the name wrong before) is printing shop off campus. It's a little way down a street off Broadway. Look it up on Google maps.

    Need textbooks?

    Definitely don't get the Engineering Computing textbook. There's extensive, easier-to-access and free notes online for MATLAB (not to mention the program's built-in help). For Diff Calc there's notes from kopyshop I believe, so you don't need the textbook. I didn't get the linear algebra one...

    Complex Polynomial Question Help

    Just sub in numbers to see when p(x) goes from negative to positive. It's between 4 and 5, which you might have guessed from part c. That means the modulus sqrt(5/a) is between sqrt(5/5) and sqrt(5/4) or between 1 and sqrt(5)/2.

    JURIS DOCTOR - UNSW vs USYD?

    Another option if you got an ATAR above 97 (which you did) is to go to Sydney, get a distinction average in first year and transfer in second year. You'll be in the same cohort as those who started in law the year before, I believe. Not sure about UNSW's transferring policy.

    ha, well you got me. I still can't believe any teacher would have a problem with that.

    Questions involving LHS=RHS

    My Analysis isn't great but I think you've misused the equality sign there. cat = C dog = D 4 legs = L :. C ∈ L and D ∈ L That doesn't meant C=D What I've written in post 10 is, from memory, the transitive property of equality, and is true. EDIT: Write that next to your proof if you're...

    Questions involving LHS=RHS

    a=c b=c therefore a=b for all real a,b,c That's perfect logic. I'd have a fit if a teacher marked that wrong.

    lectures

    No for the maths ones. Science is usually pretty good about recording lectures. My BIOL1003 and CHEM1011 were recorded. I'm not sure about the advanced versions, but they probably are.

    Semester 1 Timetables

    Maths tests are done in tutes and are the same for everyone, not based on particular lectures. Biology does tests in lectures because it's only got fortnightly tutes. You can skip lectures, go to alternatives, no one cares. Edit: I never went to my assigned stats lectures, for instance...

    Semester 1 Timetables

    If you're doing the same units as MetalTheory just go to the lectures at 11 o'clock instead of the 8 o'clock ones. Doesn't matter what your timetable says.
