    Maths in focus

    Do they grade all of the classes? I thought (maybe wrongly) that there were just two top classes and then the rest were mixed.

    Maths in focus

    Just a quick story about maths in focus- At our school, people always steal textbooks. There have been 20 MIF books sitting unattended in a maths room since the start of the year. There are still 20 now... I'm not saying its not good (I've never used it) but from what others say, its probably...

    Trouble with Locus questions in Conics

    Allright. First off, draw a diagram and use parametric form because these questions are generally easier with it. I'll type up a worked solution- give me a few minutes. <a href="http://www.codecogs.com/eqnedit.php?latex=\textup{Note the three points }P(acos\theta,bsin\theta), S(ae,0)...

    Help! Questions about pratical

    How many degrees apart is your hot and cold? Just quickly, maybe try a very dark place that never sees sun (maybe someplace in the garage) for a relatively constant cold. For hot, place in a similar location but with a strong light on it. There's no way you'll avoid variations in temperature though.

    Trouble with Locus questions in Conics

    Do you have any sample questions that you are having difficulty with plus the stages specifically where you have trouble? This would let us see what you understand and don't, plus you'll benefit from seeing a worked, explained solution.

    Years 9 & 10 2012 Chit Chat Thread

    You sound just like my brother. He's doing coastal management as well... I used to hate Yr 10 Geo as well (I think its a common theme statewide). Did you like junior geo though?

    Years 9 & 10 2012 Chit Chat Thread

    Can I just summarise everything for Yr 10's: - First of all, ENJOY Year 10, its a fun year- there shouldn't be too much stress - Pick subjects based on what you are good at and like. This will make up for scaling, plus you'll find it way easier to study - Focus on UNDERSTANDING rather than...

    Interesting Math Problem....

    I was referring to the RHS. Strictly its not part of the syllabus but its an extension of complex numbers. Essentially <img src="http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?e^{ix}=cosx+isinx" title="e^{ix}=cosx+isinx" />

    Thoughts on Terry Lee Ext 1 Textbook

    Do you have Cambridge? In my opinion, that's the best 3U book available.

    Music while studying? Distraction or Motivation...?!? What do you think....

    Listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBYrMEW9-Rw. It goes for 1 hour so you can even tell how long you've been studying for and when to take a break.
