    Induction concluding statements

    quoting my Discrete Maths lecturer "If you are doing an induction proof and dont mention the word 'induction', then something is very wrong"

    "Stephenie Meyers can't write" - Stephen King

    well you can bend convention slightly and it is still acceptable. but shining vampires who are also supermen (fly, super strength, super speed. this is from the movie mind you. yes, I'm disappointed in myself too) is a bit too far from convention to still be considered ok. i also thought...

    The Thread for ALL FIRST YEAR QUESTIONS.

    this is a university section. you would get more responses in the HSC section. but in regards to your question, no, they cannot do anything without your permission. all they can do is "strongly recommend" that you drop a subject. back on topic, so how is seating arranged in the exams? I've...

    books that say they r true but not

    well I suppose you would know more than myself on the matter. but the thing that gets to me is how would a publisher fact check novels based on personal events? (this is why I thought that fact checking for fiction books wouldnt be done as it would be hard to corroborate a lot of what a person...

    books that say they r true but not

    again, if its a fiction book its fiction. no way a publisher would fact check the fiction books they publish. Id even doubt it if non-fiction books were fact checked. if serious errors are found, it would reflect badly on the author(s) for writing it, not the publisher. and furthermore, who...

    Full time student + Full time work

    18 contact hours per week 40 hours work p/w 68 hours + 56 for sleep 168 - 124 = 44 hours left to study, eat, go out, etc. doable in theory, but you would have to be super strict with regards to your time management. even with a commerce degree which would give a few less contact hours, it...

    To the Mathematical Geniuses out there.

    School leaving age raised from 15 to 17: thoughts?

    I agree its a waste, but with the current economic conditions, a lot of school leavers are probably going on the doll, so it might be a lot more effective to redirect the doll money into schools. i do feel sorry for those of you that will have to endure another few years of loud mouth idiots

    Football - Summer Transfers

    it may just be me being narrow, but if I were a good footballer, I would never go to Real Madrid, they just seem like the biggest underachieving club there is. they go through world class players and managers and only manage scarce victories. when was the last time they won the UCL? or were even...

    General Engo Talk.

    Pahor said in the very last lecture that this was not infact the case. he said something along the lines of "so you can smash the algebra side and flunk the calculus and still pass. we dont check that stuff" (omg, calc is so annoying while I feel almost like I dont even need to study for the...

    books that say they r true but not

    You must realise that no matter what, opinion and perspective of the author will influence the written word at one point or another. various details may be exaggerated, enhanced, embellished or excluded altogether to make the story more interesting. you may find the rare book that comes close...

    To the Mathematical Geniuses out there.

    I need help too, although this question is from 1st year maths, so its not purely restricted to "Mathematical Geniuses". if f is differentiable at a, find lim h->0 of {f(a+ph) - f(a-ph)} / h

    books that say they r true but not

    I think you guys are missing one major fact here. When you pick up a fiction book, Ill say it again, when you pick up a fiction book, you are ignorant to think that it will be factual. Sure, it may have some facts, but ultimately its a lie, as per the definition of a fiction book. so when you...

    Quick Question about doing past papers

    just do them on the computer, you are really after the questions, not so much the conditions. even if you try you are going to be far off, the noise is all different, the temperature, etc. perhaps print out a couple papers shrinked to fit 2 or 4 per page, back and front, which could save you...

    timetable clash?

    maths is cool once you know enough of it. I was in the math section of the library today and there were some interesting books in there. the travelling salesmen problem, keplers conjecture and a nice book which proved some interesting facts about square numbers. observe: 1 is a square number 1...

    what's so technical about sydney tech?

    well considering james ruse agricultural high school sounds like some school for farm kids, anything pretty much sounds better than it. but maybe tech schools just barely qualify as a proper high school. so like Sydney Tech HS is called that because they are "technically" a high school, if...
