    Present value of an annuity - NEED HELP !!

    Do you understand the idea behind annuities? Because then memorising wouldn't be necessary. Perhaps a cashflow diagram would help... Given that it's general maths I don't think they would ask too hard questions involving annuities...

    Omg yes passed physics!@#$%^&*

    The difficulty of exams depends on who the lecturer is. Newbury (head of school) sets ridiculously easy exams, whilst Joe Wolfe sets quite challenging questions.

    Omg yes passed physics!@#$%^&*

    I do wonder though, if that is a scaled passed or a raw pass. Because I think that in the past the raw failure rate was something like 50-70%, depending on who the lecturer was.

    A few thoughts on Mathematics

    I had Wildberger as a tutor for several variable calculus... he was alright at what he did. Wouldn't say the best... but he marked tests leniently, which was nice.

    Difficult 2u integration of exponentials - HELP please

    d/dx e^f(x) = f'(x) e^f(x) So integral f'(x) e^f(x) dx = e^f(x) + c So you recognise the "pattern" in 2U.

    How to maximise your maths examination marks: Tips from the HSC Examiners

    I think he means that if get t=13.35 years and the question asks "In which year does it occur?" then the answer is that it occurs in the 14th year (since t=13.35 is in the 14th year).

    Higher vs Normal (Maths)

    That's because it's really easy to get 100 in those courses if you're half decent at maths (they ask pretty standard/tutorial-like questions in the final examinations for the lower level maths). I did a 'non capped' version of MATH2520 (for reasons that I cbb explaining here) and got 100...

    4 unit maths terms...joking :)

    The questions are alright for volumes and conics, especially if your school uses CSSA trials. But I heard that they're getting scrapped anyway in favour of Bill Pender.

    Transition: HSC Maths to University Maths

    If you go to UNSW you shouldn't buy the prescribed textbooks for 1st year maths (they even say in the lectures that it's not necessary, but according to the bookshop it is necessary).

    Re: 2012 HSC MX2 Marathon Indeed the integral doesn't converge absolutely. What everyone else wrote is the Cauchy Principal Value. This assigns a value to such integrals. But of course that was not asked here.

    Interesting Problem 2
