    Dot product

    Not entirely sure, maybe it has to do with the fact that both vectors use B as a reference/fixed point.

    Dot product

    The dot-product should be negative definitely for the first one. (-2-2-5 = -9) What do you get for CB in terms of the vector co-ordinates.

    Best uni for maths

    Not exactly sure, just went off the good universities guide. It depends you can obviously get different stats for different uni - Highest number of star ratings in the 2016 Good Universities Guide - Highest percentage across the key 12 categories on QILT 2015 - Awarded the 2015 Australian...

    Best uni for maths

    I am doing the Bachelor of Mathematics Advanced at UOW, it is a small class but they get you doing second year pretty well straight up. So if you are after a challenge. The main reason I chose it because UOW generally has good employment prospects compared with other universities. There are...

    Isn't it z+1 not z in the bottom row?

    Question for Ex. HSC Students

    There is always the option to change, as long as you do it before the census date no dramas. What defines a "wrong choice"? I think if you put enough thought into it, you'll know whether you can do someone of the more-demanding courses for instance. Sometimes there is good in just making a...

    Question for Ex. HSC Students

    Ahem, I would disagree on that one. http://sydney.edu.au/news/84.html?newsstoryid=5559 It really depends on what you do during a gap year though.

    Question for Ex. HSC Students

    I ended up doing a gap year, possibly do something general in uni and try a bit of things.And it should be some good stuff for you. You are not expected to sort your life out before UAC applications are due.

    Don't understand the question's wording

    I might quickly define it (the joys of second year maths in first year when they dump it on you).... The dot product (I think called such for only \mathbb R^{3} and possibly \mathbb R^{2}) or inner product (more generally is) generally for \mathbb R^{n} $\langle\,a,b\rangle$ = a \cdot b =...

    Science Experiment gone wrong?!

    Consider these things. Just as long as you can explain a couple of things: 1. Figure out the cause of the error in this case the rusting. 2. Know what the expected result. 3. You can raise in a discussion re: reliability, accuracy (***) and that concerning the experiment. It actually will be...

    Marriage equality

    Anyway, I have already stated my opinion on the whole thing earlier. No need to state anything more... I think the issue at hand is what actually is marriage, not whether homosexuality (however you categorise or break down it), is legal, moral or not.

    Does God exist?

    Possibly, although I am biased. I was more thinking Islam to Christianity, in some respects. (Although I am not going to comment any further on the former). Or even movements within Christianity itself, such as the Counter Reformation (although one could say the Reformation itself is a reaction...

    Marriage equality

    Rather than being you have to change, it is more that it will change. And it doesn't necessarily mean that people with SSA will lose it for instance. I don't think you understand repentance, but thats okay, its not expected. Repentance has to do with the attitude towards it. what you find, is...

    Marriage equality

    Yeah a bit of that from both sides I will say. And for those who advocate for same sex marriage it is primarily by interpreting the opposite opinion as hatred just adds to it all, and is just as damaging as the opinions they claim are damaging to LGBTIQ youth.

    Marriage equality

    Like I said, irrespective of whether it is right or wrong, the current definition of marriage is not based (or at least theoretically) on the moral acceptibility of homosexually-active relationship. 2. You'd find that yes, for secular people, like yourself, when it comes to matters on this...

    Marriage equality

    Nothing really. Except that people sit on different sides, and don't entirely get what the entire side thinks all of the time. Some people are like, just hurry up with and legalise SSM (consider how parts of Labor & Greens reacted when Abbott was axed for instance, the first thing they wanted...

    Marriage equality

    1. Cut me a break I was in the middle of putting a better response. If you don't get what I wrote initially, I cannot help you that much. Basically, I don't agree with either opinion, that says it a choice or says they are born that way because of genetics, Simple, how simple. What actually is...

    Marriage equality

    Is SSA a choice? Usually no. Is SSA because of genetics? Not conclusive. Basically the whole thing is more complex than just whether they are born or choose this way. And while it is easy to be explicit in saying it isn't a choice, there is no conclusive agreement on the actual cause of SSA...

    Marriage equality

    I think you would find there is a distinction between attraction (viewed as temptation), and actual lust/action. But ofc I don't think a moral stance should be any argument for/against SSM anyway. Its a nuanced difference more so. edit: I am only in this reply first replying to this second...
