    Calculus & Analysis Marathon & Questions

    Re: First Year Uni Calculus Marathon There was a tute question similar to that question, with x^2 instead of x^3. (But it's the same general process.) Challenge/exercise, just like the other maths marathons

    Re: HSC 2016 2U Marathon (Side note: to be more rigorous, I should have validated my move from my 5th line to my 6th line by proving that each term in the denominator of the 5th line is continuous. But ceebs.)

    Are textbook questions helpful?

    Textbook questions can definitely be helpful to look over while you're learning a concept, because they're often focused on testing your understanding of a specific concept. But I wouldn't spend tol much time on textbook questions; you're better off doing past paper questions, because they'll...

    Year 10 Mathematics in Vietnam

    To be honest, I think the heart of the problem lies in the attitude of Australians towards education - and the actual educational system itself is influenced by this somewhat (e.g. it's possible not to do maths from year 10 onwards if you don't want to - the fact that this is the case is...

    Question for Ex. HSC Students

    + 1 There's no rush to figure out what you want to do after school, even though it might feel so. Often it can be best to give a few things a go, eg working, volunteering, etc, and finding out that way what you're most interested in pursuing.

    What do you guys take to uni?

    Just premake a meal on Sunday perhaps which you can freeze into portions / keep in the fridge, and then just bring it every day for the next week. No need to spend $40 on food each day lol

    Some schools do indeed scale raw internal marks before submission. They shouldn't, but some do.
