mathematical induction (2 Viewers)

[dlesmond]

does anyone else find induction completely pointless or is just me?
its so boring to study

anyone else have 3u maths tests coming up soon?

 

[SoulSearcher]

On the contrary, I find 3 unit induction quite fun to study, because it's easy unlike probability

And I have the HSC exam for extension 1 maths coming up after the holidays, I think I should start studying soon

 

[Wooz]

I had my 3u test yesterday, i had 2 q's on induction.

Lols what's induction again.. Is it integration?

We just started integration after our exams..

We haven't started probablity yet..

Induction is quite fun in my opinion lol. Except when i can't do the question because i can't think simply and logically. And I agree with SoulSearcher, I dispise probability very much very much... Is this when you Do Perms and Coms or just Probability?

Induction is in the Series unit for extenioners.

Had my mathematics exam on Wednesday. I think i killed it, heehee, but I think sir bodged up some of the questions. Aiming for top 3.
Extension mathematics exam is on the last friday of term. Yay =) I've got PDHPE on monday. =(

....

Ok and what is it please?

 

[kathrynso]

Lol sorry. Um... Proving statements/formulas that include a positive integer.

Eg. Prove that the sum of the first n +'ve integers 1 + @ + 3 + ... + n is given by the formula

Sn = n(n + 1) / 2

Induction ? Physics ?

Both kinds, I really don't like probability

 

[fishy89sg]

ahhhh i gave up on induction when out of 30 questions i only answered one with assistance

 

[SoulSearcher]

Once you get the basic method, it shouldn't be that hard

 

[fishy89sg]

omg theres a basic method?

enlighten me

I agree. Though combination isn't as bad as permutations.

Actually, the only thing I hate more is any curve sketching.

*cheers* Yay! Someone else apart from me hates sketching graphs.

My year has been basically filled with function sketching and frankly, if I have to draw one more graph with more than one asymptote I think I'll snap and kill my math teacher.

EDIT: I'd take induction over curve sketching anyday.

 

[SoulSearcher]

Induction's fun, if you can call maths fun

Someone agrees, yay. Are you subjected to people making shitty jokes about "ASS-ymptotes" all the time? Cause I am and I'm totally sick of it.

Someone used limits to prove that a guy in my class is gay..

That's what is so wonderful about maths..

Is that true cause you gotta post the thing up. It's the best thing I've heard today.
