    Big rise in full-fee students in 2007 and effects

    Is it fair to assume that the CSP UAI cutoffs for most courses are going to rise due to this increased admission of full fee paying students? Should we expect the quotas for individual courses to rise in order to take in more fee paying students without sacrificing CSP places? Is this fair on...

On the other hand, I see all the girls doing economics stressing daily about it and...

    When factorising something with a multiple root, e.g. P(x)=(x-@)^3 Q(x), is there a fast way to do it (e.g. by inspection)? Dividing the poly by (x-@)^3 or expanding it and equating coeffs can take a long time. I can find the first and last term of the factor by inspection, but I have to expand...

    0.99999.... = 1?

    Why do I get 0.99999.... = 1? Working out: let x = 0.999999..... then 10x = 9.99999..... 10x-x=9 .:x=1 Other way: 0.99999....=9/10+9/10²+9/10³+.......+9/10^infinite = (9/10(1 - 1/10^infinite))/(1-1/10) =1
