    Difficulty of HSC

    If the medallist comes from this forum again like last year (did turtle occupy the forums before he got the medal?), then this forum would have something to boast :)

    Quick question on preference changing

    I accelerated a course, but repeated that same course. So this should be ok then? Hmm.. maybe I really should go to homebush tomorrow...

    Thanks a lot, that makes it much clearer :)

    ARG() values in complex numbers

    Yeah, the excel book says to work it out geometrically. However, if the complex numbers don't lie along an axis it would be very hard using the geometric method. Using the arctan method can get you the answer very very nicely, so im just curious..

    Quick question on preference changing

    One more thing, about applications. You don't need to have a do with supplementary form A if you apply by web do you? And if you accelerated a course last year.. would you have to mention anything about it?

    Quick question on preference changing

    Well, if you change your preference after the 30th of september (which is tomorrow ATTOP) does the changes get considered at the second round or something? And will it cost? For some stupid reason I put two combined laws as my top two preference, and i might want to change them... You only...

    harder 2 unit

    That's because the power reduces by one. For example, x^2 on f(x) reduces to x f'(x) and to a constant in f''(x).

    ARG() values in complex numbers

    What about this? I'll do a sample question: The locus of z, given by the equation of arg(z-1) - arg(z+1) = pi/4 Find the centre of the locus (which is a circle). Now, arg(z-1) = pi/4 + arg(z+1) using arg(z) = tan<sup>-1</sup>(<sup>im(z)</sup><i>/</i><sub>re(z)</sub>), arctan(y...

    ARG() values in complex numbers

    Just curious. arg(z) = tan<sup>-1</sup>(<sup>im(z)</sup><i>/</i><sub>re(z)</sub>) right? This is an assumed thing right? No textbooks mentioned anything like this so far... Because this is so damn useful in finding the centres of complex number loci in the form of circles. Example...

    synthetic condensation polymer

    Nylon came up to my mind because it was in conquering chem. However i couldn't find too much info on it. Is this in the syllabus? The teacher prolly encourages the students to "use teksbuks informesion" like nerds...

    odd function times even function = odd function?

    Nah, 10 marks lower than that :p. Yeah I was a bludger... The only reason I'm repeating is that in 4unit I lost 5 marks due to bad rank (was in lower half of the class), and for 3unit my exam mark was 20 marks higher than the class mark. That was a really good surprise for christmas...

    Combined Law

    bump* I'd love to know too, since combined law at usyd and unsw is my top two preference *ahem* And do you get to choose what you get combined with after you get offered?

    odd function times even function = odd function?

    oh, make that two then :D

    cost for changing preferences?

    Change for free after the 30th? you sure?

    What's HECS??

    Page 43 of the UAC book has a very short explanation that basically says it all. Paying fee lets you into a course with 5 UAI less, or something like that. However it's expensive.. HECS lets you pay later by tax (something like that) or you can choose to pay up-front and save 25%

    odd function times even function = odd function?

    naw, its just that the question was mentioned. I've only done about 1 complete 4unit paper so far. Honest!

    odd function times even function = odd function?

    great idea mate :) the MANSW solution just seemed to say it straight away.. If you went to last year's MANSW you'll get the "harder 3u" notes, which are very good. Probably the same with this year's, but those bludgers at my school just wagged the open day instead of getting some paper for us...

    important

    Yeah, you are only required to write the amount (sensible writing size) that is specified. But those "irrelevant craps" that you write outside the space always have a small chance of being relevant in case you miss something in the "allowed space"...
