Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 I had Catherine Greenhill for the first few weeks and she would write on paper with a projector that was recorded, I haven't checked for the guy we have now but he doesn't really write much in lectures

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 I think they're all recorded (at least my stream is)

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Message me! ;)

IPT to SDD is like General Maths to 2u

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Would you say it was a good idea? I'm like low key considering it but I feel like it's a bit of a waste of a break

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Just for a more normal timetable lmao

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 I mean, I could take 3 courses next semester and 1 over summer but do I really want to do that? :fish:

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 ...Looks my timetable for next semester is going to be literal hell ye boiiiiiii

Your second one isn't correct, take for example 0 (which is in the range (-1, 3] ). 0^2 + 3 = 3 < 4 The correct solution would be: -1 < x \leq 3 \\\iff -1 < x \wedge x \leq 3 \\\iff 0 \leq x^2 \wedge x^2 \leq 9 \\\iff 3 \leq x^2 + 3 \leq 12

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Think MATH1141 vs MATH1131 - just a slightly faster pace with slightly harder questions.

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 I am in 1511 - imo there should be a "Higher Computing" equivalent or something that goes through content faster, for those who already know how to program but need to do the course regardless Oh, I'm sure! But that won't stop me from getting a new flappy bird...

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 No, Andrew Taylor. Spends 2 entire lectures explaining what a while loop is, and constantly makes mistakes on purpose so we can "spot" them - but then takes forever to actually change them, acting surprised when his code doesn't work. With that children's TV "I...

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 I should try 10x speed tbh

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 It's more that the lectures are so incredibly slow - it took our lecturer 4 hours to cover something our tutor then redid in about 10 minutes. Both lectures go at the same pace so going to the lecture won't change much.

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 I feel like the last two weeks have gone by pretty quickly, either I'm having too much fun or not enough free time :p COMP1511 lectures are still really bad, I've stopped going to the ones on Wednesdays. The exercises are improving though, definitely need to...

There's no easy way to simplify that unless you're willing to use hypergeometric/subfactorial/etc. functions. WolframAlpha gives: (-1)^n\times(n!)\times!(-n-1) - !(-1) - 1

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 I get that, and I don't want to hinder my partner's learning - that's something that's important to me. However, the fact that these exercises are graded and contribute to a part of my final mark (albeit a small part), means that I don't intend on submitting...

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 I appreciate that it's trying to get you used to working with other people, but when the exercise doesn't require thinking and has a 4 line solution, I don't see how it's much of "working together" and not just "one person does all the (1 min of) work"

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Why do the labs have to be partner work for COMP1511? I can finish it all on my own in about 10 minutes right now sob

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Don't get me wrong guys, I'll enjoy learning C specific things - but I definitely won't enjoy sitting through lecture after lecture on what arrays, lists, data types, sorts, and complexity are (aka 90% of the course)
