yeah permutations and combinations was probably the most fun, along with binomial distributions
when i did mine it was probably applications in the calculus world (SMH and projectile motion)

P&C + SHM for me.
For some reason ... projectiles is a lot easier than SHM. I don't get SHM.
Oh , and probability =;(

Uh, Binomials are a pain in the butt.
Definitely Permulations and Combinations...its just a bitch to understand the questions..but once you get a hang of the type its fine - i haven't done tht yet.
And then there is good old Simple Harmonic Motion and Projectile Motion ---> HARDDDDDD :mad1:

Can you guys post an example of what you think would be a really difficult P&C question? Just since so many of you thought it was the hardest :D
how many ways can n horses finish a race assuming ties are possible? ;)

You could only ask that question once the binomial topic has been covered. Here is another hard P&C question, though slightly out of scope of the syllabus:

There are n steps, and a child can crawl up these steps either one step at a time or two steps at a time. How many ways are there for the child to crawl up these n steps?

It's sad that I don't even know where to start with those questions.
I'm so dropping 3u after / right before trials lol.
