    2011 CSSA/Independent 2U Trials

    I can get them before the security date. Too bad my school didn't use those trials :(

    why is it only 'medicine' for newcastle while other universities are medicine/surgery

    Re: why is it only 'medicine' for newcastle while other universities are medicine/sur I've heard that Newcastle is the best for Medicine.

    how big a change is yr 11 maths to yr 10 maths

    Because 3pi/8 + pi/8 = pi/2 So the second term becomes cot (pi/2 -x) = tan x So you're integrating tanx -tanx ie. 0 so integral is 0.

    how big a change is yr 11 maths to yr 10 maths

    I don't know. Depends on your teacher. In the HSC you probably wont get this type of question exactly though. There'll be a step before it or give you a hint...

    how big a change is yr 11 maths to yr 10 maths

    True, using the result \int^b_a f(x) dx = \int^b_a f(a+b-x)dx

    how big a change is yr 11 maths to yr 10 maths

    What are your limits, and what are you integrating with respect to?

    Improper Integrals & LIMITS help needed

    Well the notation \int^{\infty}_a f(x) dx means \lim_{b \to \infty} \int^b_a f(x) dx Mathematicians tend to be notoriously lazy sometimes :P

    I liked the telescoping series in first year. Interesting stuff :P

    Nice complex numbers question.

    Triangle PQR is equilateral iff |PQ|=|QR|=|RP| and arg (PR) - arg (PQ) = arg(QP) - arg(QR) iff |q-p| = |r-q| = |p-r| and arg(r-p)-arg(q-p)=arg(p-q)-arg(r-q) iff |q-p| = |r-q| = |p-r| and arg[(r-p)/(q-p)] = arg[(p-q)/(r-q)] iff (r-p)/(q-p)=(p-q)/(r-q) iff (r-p)(r-q)= -(p+q)^2 , q=/=p and...

    T-formula integration

    I think Mr Goodwin is alluding to complex analysis methods... which wouldn't even work for the above questions since there are no limits in the integral.

    T-formula integration

    Probably... Also, I think you can let u=2x and then proceed from there... But that's basically the same as using the subs t=tanx because then dx = dt/(1+t^2), whereas the the t=tan(x/2) subs yields dx = 2dt/(1+t^2)

    70 WAM. Easy or difficult?

    I think 1st year maths is easier than 4U actually (you don't get impossible Q7/8's)... But the content is somewhat different isn't it? eg. Matrices, vector geometry etc...

    Logs

    That would be second year maths.

    Logs

    In complex analysis there are two types of logarithmic functions: 1) Normal logarithmic function (ie. log) 2) Principal logarithmic function (ie. Log) By definition, log z = ln|z| + i arg z and Log z = ln|z| + iArg z Arg z is the principal argument, ie. -pi < Arg z <= pi arg z = Arg z + 2...

    70 WAM. Easy or difficult?

    They probably wont. 1st year maths (at any university) is quite standard stuff though...
