what topic scares you? (2 Viewers)

[LuthienAdrianna]

What do you love? I personally adore differentiation/integration and logs/exp. The ones I don't like tend to involve too many numbers.

no idea wat is perm and comb, or intergration

aren't they like 80s hair styles

Everything I can do! i.e. everything except circle geo and the harder parts of some other topics

 

[pLuvia]

Yes I love calculus so easy

Its ironic I find complex number locus much easier than normal 3 unit locus

The top 3 topics that scare me the most so far:
1. Probability
2. Parametrics
3. Induction Inequalities

 

[Boxxxhead]

Parametrics scare me, but I personally reckon that Probability is the easiest for me, MUCH easier than any other topic.

 

[pLuvia]

We haven't even done parametrics dammit

I have to agree with you on parametrics, induction inequalities i'm good at since i did a whole set of them and got heaps of practice at them.

 

[Boxxxhead]

Induction... grr I need help with that heaps...

 

[Riviet]

NO.1 tip: You always have to use your assumption.

circle geo is my favourite topic lol

 

[pLuvia]

circle geometry is ok, but calculus is the best

 

[Riviet]

Integral Calculus>Differential Calculus>Circle Geometry
Hehe, i actually don't mind parametrics anymore, because i'm better at em now. :uhhuh:

 

[MrFrigid]

What really scares me is Series and series applications along with the finance, you know the ones that change the rate DURING the pay back, so you have to recalculate everything ...

/end rant

 

[Mumma]

PROBABILITY
I just cant get it
I cant get my head around it at all, no matter how much I practise

 

[Boxxxhead]

I love probability, permutations etc... I personally find it easier than any other part of Maths

will someone PLEASE tell me what is calculus?? i am really annoyed...been asking that after seeing the word once in yr5, and still no answers till this date...>.<

It's not random, it's an actual rule

To answer your question calculus is a branch of maths that allows you to find the gradient of any point on a curve (differentiation) and the area under a curve, sounds wierd now but you'll see it actually works (integration) and also we can use Calculus in the physical world, i.e. find the maximum area a paddock can be. (Physical application of calculus)

With the Simpsons rule, it is a rule that you have to remember for integration, it's an estimation of the area under a curve, and you will also cross the Trapezoidal rule Another estimation of the area

Nothing hard about the Simpsons rule samuelblayden it's just

∫[b to a] x dx ~ h/3[f(a) + 4[f(x₁) + f(x₃+ .... + f(x_n-1)] + 2f(x₂) + f(x₄+ ... .+ f(x_n-2)] + f(b)]

Where h = (b-a)/n

Not hard to remember just have to realise that some text books expand the whole equation out making it confusing
