What subjects would you like, retards? One where you just beat-off at imaginary numbers all day?

Look, all subjects require a base level of english. If you don't like it...learn spanish and move to Mexico.

noooooooooo!!! dont give up, you are what is known to the average student community of 2 unit maths as a: safety net, you have the most important job of all. sure you could just go to general, but then you would do well and be completely useless to me.

cuz i was thinking of doin dat..
i mean...i failed my half yearlies badly...and most teachers would say something like drop down to general...

We clearly already have one of those. :rolleyes:
I'll also be thanking you not to say that we are retards.

Maths and extensions 1 and 2 are the only subjects for maths students.
The majority of the chemistry and physics syllabus' is rote learning. Barely any maths involved in fact.

More English was dropped into Maths as a countermeasure (back in 1996 - give or take a few years) to stop fob Asian (esp Chinese) International students from slaughtering high school Mathematics and end up taking uni spots which were intended for Aussies.

That's also why English is COMPULSORY, and there is more English in the Science subjects.

That's the truth.

lol.

I seriously can't believe that 'hippo' exists. Why don't you just leave school altogether if the public system 'sux' and you're doing crap in all your subjects. What has happened to logic in todays society?

Meh.

That may be, but when I did Chem I remember distinctly that it was numbersey.

- No essay writing
- Lots of different formulas to work out shit (Mol, F.E)
- Lots of maths to do with the joining of chemicals.

The same thing goes for Physics and its forces.

primitive would be a maths word, and english teachers would hav no idea what ur on about, it is simply the mathematical term for the integral, the original expression that u would hav integrated 2 find the differential.....

Imagine where mathematics would be today had the greats refused to read more than a paragraph about maths that didnt involve any actual numbers and/or equations
non existant and therefore saving us the pain of having to sit the stupid exam??? lol
