    Official BOS Trial 2016 Thread

    This is correct. Also, actually the 2 unit one was the hardest one to write because you can only do so much with the tools you are allowed there. I have added it in, thanks for pointing that out. And no worries mate.

    Official BOS Trial 2016 Thread

    This is precisely what I had intended, thank for you answering for me. I will think about it. I feel that this year's last question is MUCH easier than previous years. But you will need to ask Trebla to see what he think as he can probably give you a less biased opinion. This is very much the...

    Overwatch - who is playing?

    I've got about 50 hours on it so far and it's still incredibly fun. Easy to learn, but not easy to master. It's more like a mix of TF2 and League of Legends/Dota than anything else really.

    Students from 70 Australian schools targeted by sick pornography ring

    I can't believe that the media is this stupid. They pretty much gave away the source website. I am willing to wager that they just worsened the situation.

    New Draft Syllabus

    The new draft syllabi can be found here: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabuses/curriculum-development/senior-years.html I won't list them all as there are so many changes! I especially like the idea of an investigation topic for students (weighing 20-30%). It also seems like matrices...

    Stronger HSC Standards

    Full link here: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/stronger-hsc-standards/ Not applicable for 2016 HSC students, but I figured that some of you may be interested. I've bolded the more interesting changes. For the lazy or on Tapatalk: https://youtu.be/DoK4-1l-hCk establishing a minimum...

    It's a known error and is occurring worldwide. Also good grief your sig.

    Hsc subjects?!?!?!?!

    There is no 'English ATAR'. If you spout any more rubbish without justification or evidence to believe so, I am banning you for the next 3 months. Consider this your first and final warning. Think about what you say and tread carefully from now on.

    MATH3068 or MATH3061?

    Do MATH3068 Analysis. This will be far more valuable for you as a mathematics student and for any future potential studies in the field. The other course (geometry and topology) is a bit of a joke. Often the students entering this course don't have essential knowledge of set theory, let alone...

    2017ers Preliminary Chit Chat Thread

    Yep, amongst a fair few more of his pieces. His Étude Op. 10 No. 4 is off the charts on the dexterity scale.

    2017ers Preliminary Chit Chat Thread

    I don't know who you are but I'm just posting here to let you know that Chopin's Ballade No. 1 has long been my favourite piano piece. You have fine taste.

    Proposed changes to the Mathematics syllabus: Thoughts?

    I really wouldn't be judging the usefulness of topics at this level too critically. I always tell my students that it's akin to analysing the usefulness of a hammer by itself, or a staple by itself, or a piece of wood by itself, or some rope by itself. Individually, you can achieve little with...

    Proposed changes to the Mathematics syllabus: Thoughts?

    Not quite 'all about the actuaries'. Many branches of Science also require statistics. For example, one of my mates is currently doing his PhD in Psychology, and statistics is an integral part of his research. To give you an idea of how vital it is in psychology, there is a statistics unit at...

    HSC 2016 MX2 Marathon (archive)

    Re: HSC 2016 4U Marathon I too enjoy sliding up and down smooth vertical poles and creating lots of tension.

    Year 10 Mathematics in Vietnam

    Absolutely nothing involving spending years of research into mathematical standards in different countries and how they are taught, and why Australia is quite behind with respect to them, obtaining a PhD from this, climbing up the ranks in education in Australia, writing a series of textbooks to...
