    The multiple choice thread

    This is a good idea. Our 4U test didn't have any MC though so I can't help :(. Hopefully our next assessment +trials have them.

    This is actually a good way to test whether you are correcct. Ideally though, use a bigger number :)

    wolframalpha.com- This is the best website for maths (especially for confirming answers for integration, differentiation, algebra etc.)

    Depends on who you are. For me, anything - classical, soundtrack, pop, electronic etc. Most people however find that they can only work to classical music so maybe try that.

    good max/min question

    Yep. That's the question. Here it is (if you guys can get part ii, then you should be set for maxima and minima): Sorry for not making the picture appear (I still can't do that haha)

    good max/min question

    This is similar to a hard 3U question from the 90's or early 2000's. I'll track it down and post it so you can have a go.

    good max/min question

    Probably the same answer as mine. I didn't look at the calc properly, just the digits in front of the decimal place so you'll be right.

    Noob prelim questions

    Yes because both sides are positive.

    good max/min question

    Is v 109 km/h. I rushed through it so I wouldn't be surprised if its wrong... Its a good question though.

    Steps to solve a max /min problem (Differentiation)

    This is off the top of my head, so I've probably missed some steps. If you give a quick problem, I can solve it and then list the steps if I missed stuff: 1. Write out all the information. For example, if its a cylinder minimisation problem, write the equation for the volume of a cylinder etc...

    If you could have any job in the world....

    I'd train and become a world class bored of studies poster :). Seriously though I'd probably still become a corporate lawyer.

    I've still got 12 and I find it fine. Having said that, I like all my subjects. Others in my year that dropped eco (they didn't like it) say that its way better for them now.
