Yes I am. Why does the school matter? The fact is that our main text was Maths in focus and obtained the forementioned results.

And I guess because you didn't mention the word "mathematics" in YOUR argument I guess then you don't have a clue about what you're saying :rolleyes: The signs of P(z1) and P"(z1) need to be the same for a good 1st approximation using Newton's Method for finding roots of a polynomial. Suppose...

how late?

That is wrong. My analysis involves the concavity and the sign of the curve (ie. below or above the x axis). Taking the case that the curve that we're dealing with is concave up, the first approximation can still be near the actual root but the point on the curve could lie under the x axis...

I wouldn't necessarily say that. You see 41% (about 28) of our school's 2U cohort got Band 6 and 28% (about 11) of the Ext 1 cohort got E4. Most of these guys only used Math in focus + past papers.

There's nothing wrong with that of course. But most people don't go to uni and do maths related degrees intending to become a high school maths teacher... I think most of them do other jobs before becoming a maths teacher (and often as a result do a DipEd on top of their maths degree).

Well for 2U and Ext 1 I think all you need is Coroneos. Maybe Cambridge aswell if you want some supplementary questions. For Ext 2 I think Cambridge and Coroneos is the best combination.

These formulas are the very basic as to what you should already know. Lol @ #9 though. As if someone wouldn't know what a deck of cards are...or those other definitions :P But seriously I don't think you need to memorise what a deck of cards are (if you haven't already) because they tend to...

Our school used to use Fitzpatrick for 2U and 3U... They said that they changed to Maths in Focus because it was user friendly... :S

Ahh okay.. Thanks.. Just trying to figure out why the welcome pack says "Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronic Engineering specify this as the standard first year computing course"... Anyone know? Thanks

Why would you want to become a maths teacher?:confused: Just kidding :rofl:

Or if at P(z1) and P''(z1) have opposite signs, where x=z1 is the first approximation.

What about the time you downloaded and commented on the 2009 3U Maths paper after I had uploaded it? ;)

Hey Tommykins I thought I was on your 'ignore' list ;) BTW, this is the 2nd time that he's shut up after replying to my thread/posts after I mentioned the fact that he brags the fact that I'm on his supposed ignore list...

Don't you have to do 1A first?

Hi, If I want to do Electrical Engineering as a major do I need to do this course? If so, does it help with anything that I may do in the future? I'm doing B Commerce/Engineering at UNSW. Also, what is the difference between this course and Computing for Engineers? Thanks

Has anyone does this? If so what does it involve? Thanks

Actuarial Studies and Electrical Engineering... But see here: UNSW Handbook Plan - Electrical Engineering - ELECA13715 The courses: ELEC1010 Intro to Elec Engineering (3 UOC) ELEC1011 Electrical Engineering 1 (6 UOC) MATH1090 Discrete Maths for Elec Eng (3 UOC) Don't appear to exist...

Hi, How am I supposed to choose my First Sem courses? Thanks

Hi, just need for further clarification... So if I have something like: LEC1 Tue 9:00 am - 10:00 am (1-4,11-12,5,6-10) Fri 10:00 am - 11:00 am (1-4,11-12,5,6-10) Thu 10:00 am - 11:00 am (1-4,11-12,5,6-10) Mon 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm (1-4,11-12,5,6-10)...
