I see quadric surfaces.. (I had the name slightly wrong, too). If you skewer them with any vector, the vector passes through the surface a maximum of two times... We had to learn about them in Linear Algebra - sort of the 3D equivalent of conic sections in the HSC, except done from a...

Isn't the 1013124123124th number that is divisible by 3 simply 1013124123124*3? I mean: zeroth number divisible by 3 = 0 first number divisible by 3=3 second number divisible by 3 = 6, etc I think you people have been well trolled.

Are sure that isn't quadratic surfaces? (Wolfram Mathworld is telling me that not all quartic surfaces have been fully characterized yet.) They're not that hard, actually, you just have to be able to find the eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix that represents the function, and you can tell...

Prove it.

I think the horizontal asymptote is y=1.

Well, its a rectangle, actually. You need to prove that triangles OBX and HCY are congruent (Hint: RHS), and thus OX=HY.

Yeah, they have started the "12 in 13 week" structure from this semester. Basically the courses that actually teach you content didn't much like having to cut 15% out of all their subjects. One day the uni will realize that the 12 week semester is a total flop and go back to 14 weeks - but...

Find the x values of the two stationary points. Find conditions on k that ensure that the two stationary points have y-values that are opposite in sign. (Drawing a picture might help.)

If you get into advanced science or bachelor of psychology, I don't think that you need to minor in anything else. If you are going to do psych in the standard science degree, I would suggest that you do a minor in statistics, as there is some synergy there. The other advantage is that if you...

And yet, they seem to be intent on phasing the dip ed out at most institutions.

Grad pay is certainly very good in teaching, but the problem is that you don't go anywhere in the long run. Salary maxes out after 7 years, I think. For example, I was looking at a job with NSW health as a trainee biostatistician, and the starting pay there is more than I will earn as a...

^^I think that if they did that, they simply wouldn't fill the places in the course. Education is not an area that has high student demand.

The other thing is, DET is so laggardly in its recruitment practices that by the time they get around to offering jobs to fresh grads the good ones have already been snapped up by private schools. So they certainly do need to reform their recruitment practices.

Did she actually get sacked, or just moved to another school?

Under the new NSW Institue of Teachers scheme, which applies to teachers employed after 2004, teachers are supposed to show that they are engaged in on-going learning. The problem is that much of the Professional development on offer is crap that is run by ex-teachers who could never manage...

Actually, the article is incorrect. Public school teachers at the moment start on $53K a year. https://www.det.nsw.edu.au/media/downloads/employment/awardcon/schoolteach.pdf You have to look at Schedule 1 on p28 or there abouts and see what a step 5 teacher (i.e., a 4 year trained...

Don't you graduate when you have passed all your requisite courses? I don't think that either WAM or GPA has a direct bearing.

The numbers listed there are just a guide - the actual marks could go either up or down. The UAI (or ATAR, as it will be this year) for 2009 hasn't even been decided yet, as nobody has done their HSC exams. The cut-off will be decided when they see the marks of the applicants that apply for...

Who taught 2011?

Provisional marks (supposedly) may change later when you get the official result, but in my experience they never did.
