Removal of Conics from Syllabus (1 Viewer)

[qqmore]

Maybe we should make a partition? If we get enough, then it will stay the same?

petition u mean?


yea what they are doing to the 4u course is really really tragic.......... they should actually make it harder to improve standards rather than watering it down.

 

[buchanan]

I don't want to reveal too much at this stage, but I can say that if they adopt the IEU's recommendations, the final syllabus will look very different from the draft.

statistics is harder than conics.

 

[kurt.physics]

statistics is harder than conics.

statistics is shitter than conics.

 

[pLuvia]

statistics is shitter than conics.

That's because you are thinking of high school stat which is rubbish

IMO conics was a very tedious and useless topic, better replaced by stats

Why don't you write a submission?

I did. Here it is:

PMA3 A more formal treatment of functions is required, e.g., f(x) : R → R : x 7→ x3.

Yes! The whole course is built on functions but it's never made clear what a function is.

MA5 Students should be able to solve dN/dt = kN

This is also sensible since it's already halfway in there already

I like the sound of that!

The same can be said of MANSW's recommendations from yesterday's meeting.

HSC is hopeless....
look at what they have done to all science courses..

thank god i will be finishing it this year...




the ultimate aim is to wipe out the vast asian population in uni by removing harder math and includes harder english..thats what they trying to do.. u guys are out-of-the-point.. they are NOT trying to teach anything in HSC. the ultimate aim of the HSC is to select student to the uni and they are goin to be protective and keep all the native australians to the best advantagable position possible...

I see.

A more formal treatment of chaos is required. Chaos arises in many other contexts
and it is misleading to suggest it only comes from the logistic equation.

​

wth is Chaos? ​

 

[buchanan]

For a dynamical system to be classified as chaotic, it must have the following properties:

• it must be sensitive to initial conditions,
• it must be topologically mixing, and
• its periodic orbits must be dense.

Here are some links for chaos.

They may as well attach 'Suggested Answers' at the back of the blood exam!

I heard they're removing conics from the 4U syllabus from next year and replacing it with statistics.
Apparently they've wanted to remove it for some time...
Anyone else heard of it?

they should take conics out and put matrices, stats and differential equations into the syllabus.

They're replacing conics with something called Discrete Maths. It's probability/stats related - I've heard it's first year uni maths with a failure rate of about 50%

Discrete Mathematics and Statistics (which involves probability) are two different fields of mathematics. I don't know where you got your information from, but most people find Discrete Maths rather easy, similar thing for Statistics at least in first year university unless you never did maths in the HSC.

Is Conics hard? What does it involve?

 

[tommykins]

it is further parametrics.

requires very good algebraic skills.

abit of abstract thought but its mainly pretty simple
