New Mathematics Extension 2 syllabus? (1 Viewer)

[Mature Lamb]

I've been trying to google and search the forums for some actual proof.. but I only see it being mentioned.

What I'm talking about is the new syllabus with conics removed and maybe harder 3u removed

I did a thread on the syllabus development at http://community.boredofstudies.org/238/extracurricular-topics/110007/syllabus-development.html

The draft document you seek is at

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/mathematics-extension-2-st6-draft.pdf

There is a delay due to the national curriculum, which for years 11-12 has not been released yet.

Buchanan, what do you think about the proposed syllabus changes?

My submission for the document in question is at

http://www.angelfire.com/ab7/fourunit/submission3.pdf

I would also recommend Bill Pender's submission which he gave me permission to reproduce at http://www.angelfire.com/ab7/fourunit/0806BOSSubmission.pdf

I have also set up a new website at http://users.tpg.com.au/nanahcub/syllabusissues.html

to just focus on syllabus issues because the number of documents is now growing to such an extent it was cluttering up my other Ext. 2 website.

Thanks. It was an interesting read.

What are i, j and k vectors? I think I'm about to do them for Physics in university.

Also, for ... what does the denote?

The i, j and k are unit vectors in the x, y and z direction respectively. Basically any vector can specified as a multiple of a unit vector. e.g. the point (1, 2, 3) would have a vector of i + 2j + 3k

The notation R -> R refers to the domain being the real number set and the function values are have a codomain which is also the real number set (the codomain is not necessarily the range which can be a subset of the codomain). Basically a function is applied on x which exists in the real set and the possible values it can take after being cubed is also in the real set.

A good example is f(x) = x² is denoted as x |--> x² with the domain being all real x. The codomain of x² is also the real number set but note that its range is all non-negative real numbers (which is a subset of the full real number set codomain).

Using column vectors.
