Who needs tutoring for Year 7 --> 2/3U Maths? Ok everyone, I completed my HSC in 2007 and achieved Band 6s in Extension 1 and Extension 2 Mathematics from Sydney Boys High. I'm a 2nd year Civil Engineering student and I've got Distinctions for two of my mathematics courses at UNSW. I'm...

I know about the deal with reference texts but are prescribed textbooks compulsory to get? Is there a chance that a lecturer will tell you that they won't be needed?

As per the thread title, are only engineering subjects covered if you are doing a double degree? I'm going for a BE / B Sci (comp sci) and I'm having trouble working out my timetable, mainly because I don't know how the B Sc subjects will fit in. Advice greatly appreciated :)

Hey! I'll be starting off a BE/BSc (com sci) and I'm wandering if I should go for MATH 1141 or MATH 1131. http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/courses/2006/MATH1141.html states that for 1141, Assumed knowledge: HSC Mathematics Extension 1 and Extension 2. Students will be expected to...

Hello! I'm going to be applying for a BE (Civil/Mechanical)/B Sc (Comp Sci) double degree and I'm not sure if I should get a USB drive to shove into uni computers or if I should get a laptop. How necessary is a laptop for Engineering or Com Sci anyway in terms of using it for actual lecture...

Hello! Well, it's preference time. I'm considering eng/com and eng/sci degrees at UNSW, UTS, and USYD - BE (civil or mechanical), BCom (not certain on what I want to major in), BSci (Computer science). I've got some doubts which have arisen since the unsw/usyd/uts open days, so It'd be really...

Hello:) P lies on the hyperbola x²/a² - y²/b² = 1 with focus at S. PT is a tangent at P and ST is perpendicular to PT. Show that T lies on the circle x² + y² = a². This q is from exercise 32 (d) question 11 in Fitzpatrick. Finding the equation of the tangent and equating it to the equation of...

Hello :) This question is the same one in conq chem In order to measure the concentration of mercury in sea water near an industrial plant, a team of chemsits used AAS. They first calibrated their instrument by admitting some standard solutions to it and determining the absorbance for each...

Hello :) Two questions 1. This is from Conq. Chem, in a table of tests used to identify anions (p214 of latest edition). Anion: Phosphate Test: Addition of Mg2+ in ammonia, ammonium nitrate buffer produces a white precipitate of Mg(NH4)PO4. The given reaction for this test is PO4^3- + Mg2+ +...

Ok so in we've reacted propanol with methanoic acid in the presence of H2SO4 and hopefully have some propyl methanoate somewhere there. We've taken away the sulfuric acid by neutralising with sodium carbonate, and taken away water by reacting it with calcium chloride. When water is reacted with...

Hi! Just a quick Q regarding banked circular tracks A section of the road is in the form of an arc of a circle of radius r. The road is banked at an angle (theta), so that a car of mass m travelling at speed v has no tendency to slip. Show that the resultant force on the car is given by...

Hello:) This refers to the dot point Students: perform an investigation to demonstrate the principle of an AC induction motor I've done basically the same prac as shown here http://hsc.csu.edu.au/physics/core/motors/2698/Phy935net.htm#net2 , but instead we turned a magnet blue-tacked onto a...

Hey there :) I've done a thread search, but I still have some doubs about two different types of transformers and their efficiencies. 1. http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/2079/simpleij0.gif Now in this one, seems like sources of inefficiency arise from eddy currents in the iron coil...

Sorry about the title lol, but here goes.. This question is in new senior mathematics, fitzpatrick 4U (page 165, q6), i just don't seem to get any of these resisted motion q's. "A particle falls from rest in a medium. If the retardation due to resistance in the medium varies as the square...
