Not necessarily...

I didn't find Accounting to be too interesting. But it depends on the person. Usually not. But apparently they provided a 'sample exam' for Accounting 1A and it was quite similar to the actual final. I heard it was just numbers changed...

Re: Experienced English tutor (96): FREE English tutoring Too bad they're changing the AOS next year or so...

Not ncessarily. At my school it was due to compulsory sport (which I bludged by "bribing" my sports teacher/coach).

By the way, the "exam" package is quite nice once you have a template established. It can also add up the total points to make sure it adds to 100 and some other nice things as well.

Okay my bad. I should've said "the default LaTeX font" (yes it is possible to change it to Times or some variation of Times, but not Times New Roman since it is patented or something...)

I actually used to hate the LaTeX font when I first saw it...

I don't think good notes alone can help one learn maths well. I think a teacher or tutor who explains the implications of the notes in a way that the student can remember the critical facts is a much better way of learning/teaching.

I had a really good teacher and he wrote very good notes on the board. I seriously couldn't have asked for more.

Yes, and the whole idea of LaTeX is not WYSIWYG... defeats the purpose IMO. I know old fashion people who just use a text editor for LaTeX and compile it at the command line... I prefer a LaTeX editor though...

In statistics it's often used to represent a proportion.

I don't think (2) is in the syllabus for the preliminary or HSC course... but the school might ask it in their assessment tasks... So it's worth checking with your teacher.

Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon No actually I THINK it's the other way around... It's been a while since I've done complex analysis though (which is VERY beautiful).

Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon Well, there is something called "analytic continuation".

The "Revised" 4 Unit Maths Coroneous book is basically the book for the old Level 1 course with the irrelevant topics removed (such as matrices, eigenvalues, etc). The supplement was published in 1982, which was when the 4 unit course was revised to include circular motion, conic sections and...

Also, I think the Central Limit Theorem SHOULD be in statistics, perhaps with restrictions on its applications. It's a very important and interesting result in statistics. My guess is that, respectfully, Dr Pender doesn't understand it? By the way, I think Pender has retired from SGS, because...

Where are the draft syllabi that he's referring to? And the specimen papers? He seems to not like or know a lot about statistics though. I'm sure he would've done some statistics in university... Was statistics not a part of university mathematics courses in the 70's? That would answer his...

Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon Well, usually one chooses a branch cut according to what needs to be evaluated...

Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon Something interesting to note that the complex exponential function is peroidic with period 2pi i It does make the complex logarithm function a bit complicated though.

Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon Another important application of this is the 'bilinear transformation' in digital signal processing.
