Induction motors are used in various power tools etc. They are actually resonably common, easy variable speed compared to large control systems required for syncrhonous motors.
Yeah I know. I was referring the the AC synchronous motor which is much less common, and consequentially not in the syllabus.

@ zeropt: sigh~~~~~ me disappointed

@ xayma: social life and 1st yr tsp are not mutually exclusive =D
i had to talk alil for my way into adv phys cuz i got 89 (the guide says band6) but when i changed my uos, they didn't even ask my marks... all i said was: "i wanna do adv phys" they r like "ok, there's a letter, take to sci faculty and change ur enrolment"... i thought i needed to do more talkin than taht so i was like o_O
Hahaha I had to do the same thing with physics, but as soon as I told the dude over in science my UAI and maths marks he let me in...

Maybe show pictures of each other...but that'll be weird. I couldn't remember what everyone looks like, anyway. We could tell everyone what we're going to wear on the day.

OK...enoguh of trying to be a clown.

I have a major problem bugging me in the head.

As you all know...I have chosen all my units of study at adv level.

Semester 1:

PHYS 1901 Physics 1A (Advanced) `````````````- 6 CP
MATH 1901 Differential Calculus (Advanced) `````- 3 CP
MATH 1902 Linear Algebra (Advanced) `````````- 3 CP
CHEM 1901 Chemistry 1A (Advanced) `````````- 6 CP
SOFT 1901 Software Development 1/(Adv) `````- 6 CP
``````````````````````````````````Total - 24 CP

Semester 2:

PHYS 1902 Physics 1B (Advanced) ```````````````````````- 6 CP
MATH 1903 Integral Calculus and Modelling (Advanced) ``````- 3 CP
MATH 1905 Statistics (Advanced) ```````````````````````- 3 CP
CHEM 1902 Chemistry 1B (Advanced) ```````````````````- 6 CP
COSC 1901 Computational Science in MATLAB (Advanced) ```- 3 CP
COSC 1902 Computational Science in C (Advanced) ```````- 3 CP
```````````````````````````````````````````Total - 24 CP

Tell in one word:
a) I'm FU(KED beyond repair
b) I can handle it

....and why? (considering work load and diffficulty of contents)

[btw...my actual UAI is 98.9 ...... could've done better if I didnt have to do all my exams with an empty stomache (holy month of ramdhan)]

Any help and useful comment/suggestion specially replies from those pple who are already in uni, and know pple who do all their units at adv level, are greately apretiated.

thnx....*sniff*...*sniff*...Lonely Shadow

Hey, we will both be doing PHYS1901, SOFT1901, MATH1901, MATH1903, COSC1901!

The COSC subjects are pretty easy, even the advanced equivalent. PHYS is more of an interest for me, doesnt matter how i go. SOFT i must get atleast credit for and for MATH i wasnt planning on doing advanced but they guy suggested i do it (ill be doing MATH 1904 also).

trust me, it's worth doing adv maths. Normal maths just doesn't cut it

hey dark_angel (real name preferred :D), haven't seen you for ages. Congrats on your decision to do adv sci, you won't regret it.
I did all adv except bio as I had never done it at the prelim/hsc level. I got into newc this year so I guess i dont need to do the gamsat (phew).
I was surprised when i was in first year, as everyone around (like everyone) me were doing all advanced subjects. All the adv sci guys will be doing all advanced subjects (maybe not bio tho, or no bio at all).
