64=4^3 Its the difference of two cubes in disguise.

Masters of teaching (from any uni) is considered equivalent to the old dip ed (i.e., you will be employed as a 4 year trained teacher at the end of it.) Any education credential is just a piece of paper to get a job - and all your potential employers know this. I would go to the uni that does...

The problem is not the UAI. The problem is that the board of studies is giving very high HSC marks in the first place, which raises people's expectations to an unrealistic level. In General maths, about 5% of people got band six, 21% got band 5 , 30% got band 4. So a 72 for gen maths is...

Re: 回复: Re: general UNSW chit-chat Any maths subject with a course code ending in 9 is a service subject (usually for the engineering faculty), which means that you need to be in a particular program to be enrolled in it.

The dfee places are not going be converted to CSP places. They are being converted into full-fee paying international places. The uni would be losing money if it converted them to CSP places, and the federal government is not going to fund the difference. Abolishing the Dfee places was a...

Re: Top 20 in Course List Almost all selective schools are public. Sydney Grammar is the only academically selective private school that I know of. I am not sure, but here might be one other selective catholic school in NSW.

Dumsum, can you do advanced science with that? Or do you have to do an ordinary science degree?

Are you sure that these people are still alive? The first editions of some of those books you mention came out quite a long time ago.

Once you are in uni, no one gives a stuff what subjects you did for your HSC. However, psychology is a very popular field atm, and so it is very competitive to get into. Also, once you are in psych, gaining entry into honours year is very competitive. (Note: entry to honours will be...

For q1, using sum and product of roots you can find a+b and ab. (a+b)^3 = a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2 +b^3 = a^3+b^3 +3ab(a+b) I think you can work it out from there.

$22K a year would buy an awful lot of tutoriing, wouldn't it.

Yes, the employment and recruitment system at DET is completely dysfunctional. I wish more teachers would vote with their feet, though, and find alternate employment - either at a non-DET school or outside teaching. Then they would be forced to DO something about the way DET is run.

You could also try doing a subject during the summer teaching period. BABS1201 runs through the summer, but I think it may have already started this year.

I think PHYS1111 is a non-calculus based introductory course, so it shouldn't be too difficult, even if you didn't do physics in high school. HPSC is listed as one of the table A science majors, http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/faculties/2009/sci/TableA.html so I still think you might be...

I can think of good reasons why a teacher might let people bring a formula sheet into an assessment. It encourages the students to learn how to summarize, which is certainly an important academic skill to develop. And open book exams are not such a strange idea - you just make the questions...

You could try one of the HPSC (history and philosophy of science) courses. In some cases these can be counted as science units - you'd have to check with the rules for your degree.

Yes, but if you don't put in the degrees sign then it already is in radians.

Grown-ups use radians. I think you mean cos (pi/2) + i sin(pi/2) = i

I went to Japan on exchange for a year a long, long time ago. It didn't cost me a cent: I had a scholarship that basically covered everything - airfares, tuition, living expenses. I'd recommend it if you get the opportunity.

I think kaz 1 had the correct answer - the expression has been factored into two polynomials of lower degree. Of course, the Q didn't specify which field we are supposed to factor over - the rationals, the reals or the complex numbers, so the use of radicals has not been ruled out (but then...
