i received mine yesterday. oh. my. god. is anyone else BRIGHT YELLOW in their photo? not just a little yellow. i'm talking really yellow. my skin is fucking pee-coloured. i'd be okay with it if everybody else's turned out that way too, but for some reason i think i'm just lucky.

It wasn't the best but I was expecting sooo much worse. At this rate, I could pull a band six! :) Thank god for Themistocles.

i) Show that for all values of m, the line y = mx - 3m^2 touches the parabola x^2 = 12y. Can someone explain this one to me? I know how to do it, I just don't understand why... Thanks. :)

Okay... thanks! Good luck with the exam. :) I, for one, am screwed.

But if they ask us a question on political life, we'd be expected to know the the roles of the duumviri and the aediles, right? I have that information, but I don't know if I can trace it back to specific sources... I mean, would "This comes from inscriptions" be sufficient?

What sources do we have as evidence for the political life in P&H? I'm under the impression that it's mainly epigraphic sources... should we try to remember inscriptions word for word?

Waaait a minute. You mean it was asking you to account for the religious landscape overall, rather than account for the changes indicated in the source (ecumenism, as it turns out) exclusively? Oh my god... I'm fucking stupid. But that's good 'cause I'll actually get marks for talking about...

Is anyone else gonna risk it and just focus on the Persian Wars? I don't think I have any choice at this point... :s

Ancient History as a subject is way too big. It makes me want to cry. At this point I think I'll have to study only one section of the syllabus and hope to god it comes up in the exam.

Okay, I'm intrigued. Where can you buy them?

Got it. Thank you!

From the Coroneos textbook. 18. i) A particle is moving along the x-axis. At time t, it is distant x from 0 and moving with velocity v = dx/dt. Show that the acceleration dv/dt = v. dv/dx. ii) The acceleration of a body moving in a straight line is proportional to the velocity, i.e. dv/dt =...

I'm repeating the HSC this year, I guess. I dropped out of school last year, partly due to chronic illness, but largely because the UAI I'd have graduated with would have been severely below what I would deem acceptable. It's been a god awful year but hopefully in a couple of months time I'll...

For the area of study, is it necessary that your supplementary texts be in a different medium to the prescribed text? Does this mean that all three of the texts you analyse for your AoS essay must be in different media? Where is this stated?
