    Official BOS Study Meat v2.0 (Winter Edition)

    Because that's what it is. Tbh, I could probably learn more by just staying home and studying by myself but it'll be good to put names to faces, meet new people etc. Even if you sacrifice a day (which I won't because I'm planning on going to a few of the seminars), it'll still be worth going to...

    Official BOS Study Meat v2.0 (Winter Edition)

    I'll see what I can do. Not sure though if I can bring enough for everyone... (we'll have to keep it on the down-low). More relevant question, is everyone planning on doing their own study or more collective study/socialising?

    Factors Affecting High Marks

    This. I don't know why everyone simply assumes that natural ability doesn't exist and takes an idealistic view that everyone can get any ATAR. I go to a selective school so the general atmosphere in terms of studying and ATAR is pretty serious. There are large numbers of people that will study...

    Interesting dilemma

    Hey guys, I was just looking at Euler's formula and came up with this: <a href="http://www.codecogs.com/eqnedit.php?latex=e^{i\pi}=-1\\ e^{2i\pi}=1\textup{ (On squaring)}\\ e^{2i\pi}=e^0\\ 2i\pi=0\textup{ (On equating powers)}\\ \therefore i\pi=0" target="_blank"><img...

    Anyone doing Science Comp tomorrow?

    Perfect score I think. Not expecting one obviously, a HD would be nice though... There was a kid in my primary though who got three medals in one year (WTF!!!)

    Trig !

    For 1) Note that tan(2x)=(2tanx)/(1-tan^2x) Your question fits this exactly -> (2tan(10))/(1-tan^2(10))=tan(2(10))=tan20 Sorry about the lack of latex - don't have time now.

    Difficult 2u integration of exponentials - HELP please

    I think the question is: <a href="http://www.codecogs.com/eqnedit.php?latex=\int x^2e^{x^3-1}dx" target="_blank"><img src="http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\int x^2e^{x^3-1}dx" title="\int x^2e^{x^3-1}dx" /></a> Hint: Differentiate <a...

    Area between two curves with hyperbola - HELP please

    This isn't an area between two curves question. Consider the two areas (to the left of the point of intersection and to the right). -x is less than 1: The hyperbola has no influence on this. You are trying to find the area of the triangle bounded by the origin, x=1 and y=1 (intersection of line...

    Polynomials Question

    Let the roots be a,-a and b. a+(-a)+b=3 ->b=3 a(-a)(3)=-12 a^2=4 a=2,-2 Therefore the solutions are x=2,-2,3

    Sum and Products of roots anyone?

    This is true but you can still find sums and products for roots that aren't real. Consider the equation x^2+1=0. The discriminant is less than 0, therefore there are no real roots however the sums and products of roots gives us that the sum is 0 and the product is 1. When you do find the roots...

    ATAR ESTIMATE - RANK 1 in all

    This is impossible to tell. Obviously above 98 given that 3 people get that but you could even get up to .95. It will all depend on how you go in your externals.

    atar and scaling?

    What school do you go to (give us the rank if you don't want to name)? The reason is that for example, at our school, they mark english very harshly (average is normally around 50-60%) even though we are a selective school and our HSC marks end up being much higher. Some of my friends schools...

    Re: Atar estimate please :) Results for all exams/assessments included :) All welcom Can you clarify what you mean by selective school? The reason is that I go to a selective school and we don't have anyone doing gen. maths, CAFS etc, let alone almost 200.

    WARNING to all students look for tutors. Most are greeedy, too expensive.

    1. I go to a public school. A lot of my friends go to private schools (some elite and some 'ordinary'). Just going to a private school doesn't make you a douchebag and just going to a public school doesn't make you a hero. I know a lot of great people from both systems and I know a lot of drops...

    Help with Polynomial, please,

    I haven't tried it yet but I think you need to use the stronger form of induction i.e. assume true for n=k and all integers up to k (1,2,...,k) and then prove for k+1. I'll do it tomorrow if no one has done it by then.
