hey all i was wondering what is ur favourite topic?
I don't know how to do long division with numbers but I do with polynomials. :uhoh:

My favourite topics would have to be:
- Mathematics --> Basic Arithmetic and Algebra.
- Extension 1 --> Trigonometric Formulae.

Circle Geometry is cool, even though I suck at it.

yeh right angled triangles are pretty easy. wait til you do yr 11 trig... i remember thinking trig was so easy, now we have to know all these formulas :vcross: e.g. double angle results, compound angle results, transformations... its easy now, but when i first learnt it, it was like trig isnt supposed to be this hard! i hope we dont learn more trig in yr 12

but yeh i really like doing these parametrics, they are so nice :)
I agree with you about trig.

i dont find it hard at all. I am currently learning double formulas in my maths class and other stuff. Like addition theorems and trig identies :D that is why i enjoy the topic
yeh well it took me a while, first i was like oh man, now trig is one of my fav topics, especially all the trig identities and proving LHS equals RHS etc (my teacher calls it mathematical masterbation lol)

but if it was easy for you from the start you must be a maths freak, like namu ;)

I can't stand Permutations and Combinations, nor Binomials, or Probability etc. :p

I don't mind circle geometry or trigonometry, though. Don't think I have a 'favourite' though.

Mine has changed to parametrics. It's simple co-ordinate geometry in disguise.
