    Online Math Tutor Tools

    Hello, so I'm thinking about doing online tutoring since it's basically more convenient, but I just need a good idea of to use. So I plan to use Skype to communicate, but what tools would you guys use in order to show different workings through screen-share? Especially with writing out...

    Business School Electives

    Alright guys I'm nearly at the end of my degree and for my econ degree, I need 2 more business elective courses. So ironically, I tend to do better in conceptual courses like math than courses that involve quite a bit of memorisation. So what would be recommended for a guy who's good at maths...

    Positive Matrix proof

    $a) Prove that a Square Matrix $ \ G \ $ is a positive definite if and only if $ \ G+G^T \ $ is a positive definite$ $b) Prove that an $ \ n \ times \ n \ $ symmetric matrix $ \ G \ $ is a positive definite if and only if $ \ G^{-1} \ $ is positive definite $

    log base 1

    Yeah sorry if this was asked before, but this just crossed my mind. y = log_1(x) \Rightarrow x = 1^y = 1 So what I'm getting is that this particular log is only defined at x = 1? But if we use the change base formula y = ln(x)/ln(1) = \frac{ln(x)}{0} We can see that it's not...

    Moment Generating Function

    $ For any $ \ \ 0<p<1 \ \ $and$ \ \ r \ \ $ a positive integer, the probability function $ \\ \\ f(x) = \binom{r+x+1}{x}p^r(1-p)^x \ \ \ x = 0,1,2 ... \\ \\ $defines a random variable X$ \\ \\ $Show that the moment generating function$ \ \ m_X(u) = \mathbb{E}(e^{ux}) = \\...

    Gamma distribution function

    Yeah my mind's probably not working or I'm missing something important but how do you evaluate this \frac{1}{\beta^2} \int_0^{\infty}e^{-\frac{y^2}{2\beta^2}} dy

    Complex analysis integrals

    Use complex analysis methods to find \int_{0}^{2 \pi} \frac{1+cos(3 \theta)}{5-4cos \theta} \ \ d \theta \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{x^\frac{1}{4}}{x^2+4} \ \ \ dx \ \ \ \ $by taking the branch cut of$ \ \ \ x^{\frac{1}{4}} \ \ $ along the imaginary axis. Make sure to give details regarding...

    Hi so I'm a 2nd year student studying adv maths at UNSW. So I'm enrolling for for my 2nd semester and I currently have 2 cores (both maths) and ECON1102 (is this a reasonable course for me as well?). Just wondering what other easy course (relatively) that would be good for my WAM as a...

    Partial derivative question

    Ok I maybe I'm derping and stuff but i can't seem to get this one $Suppose that function f is a differentiable function of a single variable and F(x,y) is defined by$ \ \ F(x,y) = \ f(x^2-y) \\ $a) Show that$ \frac{\partial F}{\partial x} + 2x\frac{\partial F}{\partial y} = 0 \\ \\ b) \ \...

    B science with another degree?

    So I'm planning to study Bachelor of science (maths major, still deciding whether UNSW or Usyd, could you suggest which one is better) But I'm told that there are limited job opportunities with that degree itself, so therefore I should combine with something. Now I'm not really a fan of...

    Standard English dragging down my ATAR

    So yeah I'm doing some of the higher scaling subjects like 4U maths and chemistry and I'm doing great with those, but I can't simply deal with english. I'm doing English standard and my rank is maybe just in the top 15 after doing pretty bad in my half yearlies. I currently attend a school that...
