I’m finishing first year uni and still don’t know what I wanna do it’s chill we’ll figure it out

I’d say no 2020 and 2021 were both kinda hard but not too bad 2022 and 2023 were much harder So I’d guess 2024 and 2025 will be similar Also aligns with the fact that question writing teams are generally hired for 2 years

Presumably your big time sink is finding square roots of complex numbers. For some inexplicable reason schools very rarely teach this well. Consider that you want to find a number x+iy such that its square is 3+4i. By squaring both sides and equating real and imaginary components you get the...

Surely geometric or combinatorial mathematical induction I was hoping for this last year in my HSC and it never came … surely it makes a comeback?

Also I thought I'd also mention in response to 'other textbooks' I did mention Steve Howard before, which is freely available online. I'm not thrilled with his exercises though ... they seem to vary greatly in difficulty (I found his complex numbers exercises generally very easy with a couple...

Look everyone's going to have a different opinion on this but here's my two cents: The Cambridge Textbook is designed to have an incredibly wide range of questions - from the most basic to the hardest. The intention is to be able to cater for students at different levels. The HSC is designed...

Was there a spark gap Hertz-like effect?

Wow that’s so cool, thank you so much!
