    Talented students day at usyd

    I went last year, and the only useful lecture is the last session, which is directly related to the 4U course. The other ones are just "entertainment".. For last year, my teacher decided we will "wag" the first session, and have a tour around sydney uni (it was at UNSW), and a tour around the...

    Integration by Special Properties

    While at integration, i would also want to ask this question: in integration, is there such law that I{a --> b} f(x) dx = - I{b --> a} f(x) dx ?? i just happened to use it a lot without knowing if it's a law or not. Would be scary if i get reduced in marks for using something that's...

    strange volumes Q

    affinity, what graph program do you use? and can it actually calculate the volume, does it cost a lot of memory (RAM), take a lot of system resource, etc etc.. very interesting

    strange volumes Q

    I was thinking of the same graph affinity gave me, and I tried to work it out during the free period after the 4unit lesson. But it seems to be something must be wrong, since the equation keeps giving 0 = 0 (strange, that's why). Here goes: equation for ellipse: [ :: (x^2)/4 + y^2 = 1 ...

    I cheer for the similarities between us, that our logic matches, but most importantly that you understand what I was saying :)
