    Simple BA DipEd Question!

    That should be OK, then. If you enroll in a course the uni has an obligation to keep it running until you graduate (as long as you do so in the minimum time.) I was worried that you were thinking of doing a BA assuming that a 1 year DipEd will be available when you graduate in 3 or 4 years time.

    Simple BA DipEd Question!

    Do you enroll in the combined BA/Dip Ed from the outset? Or just the BA? The problem with doing a dip.ed. is that most unis seem to be phasing them out, and converting them into a master of teaching or some such thing, which takes 18-24months, rather than the 12 months for a Dip Ed. at the...

    fun circle geometry question

    The solution is not too hard to do on a bit of scrap paper if you just angle chase a bit, but it would be a pain to write it all out.

    fun circle geometry question

    Explain in brief how you did it. I had lots of little cyclic quads inside the big one.

    fun circle geometry question

    Classic case of converse fallacy. A kite has diagonals that cross at right angles, but that does not mean that any quad with perpendicular diagonals is a kite...

    The Thread for ALL FIRST YEAR QUESTIONS.

    I've always been really bad at taking coherent lecture notes. I do believe in pre-reading, though. I've always found it helpful to read the relevant bits of the textbook before I go to the lecture. Same with tute Qs.

    What you hate about UNSW

    It could be worse... I am having two of my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow morning. I am sure that going to uni can't be worse than that.

    education degree questions

    That is about what I thought. The OP should probably keep that in mind when choosing a course, that's all - if he chooses the computing degree + diped option make sure that he does enough subjects in another area to have a second teaching subject. I have met quite a few computing teachers...

    education degree questions

    Is is possible to have computing studies as your only teaching subject or will you need to have a second area that you teach also?

    Absolute killer prob question

    But if I swap the two a's around then the letters are still in the right order. Question doesn't specify which a comes first.

    Absolute killer prob question

    But there are also 2 a's in koala.

    Program discontinuation

    31st of March is the census date - withdraw after this date and you have to pay for the course. This date is set by the Fed. govt, not the uni. The 26th of April is the date set by the uni for withdrawal without academic penalty. So if you withdrew from a course between 31st of march and 26...

    Program discontinuation

    The census date is the deadline for withdrawing without incurring a HECS debt for that course. There is also a dead line for withdrawing without academic penalty. I think it is around about week 9. If you withdraw from the course before that deadline, but after the census date then you will...

    Making medicine would be pharmacology, I think.

    Dropping to General?

    I think the problem with general is not that the maths is too simple, it is that too much of it can only be presented in a "black box" kind of way (e.g., Simpson's Rule with no calculus.) And they do harder probability than the 2 Unit students! Also, I am not sure how useful the course is to...

    Differentiation Using first principle Q

    You know how to rationalise the denomiator of a fraction involving surds? To answer this q, you rationalise the numerator, so you multiply by (sqrt(x+h)+sqrt(x))/(sqrt(x+h)+sqrt(x)). You can then simplify the numerator, and cancel the h in the denominator.

    Dropping to General?

    Is there a teacher on the planet who actually likes teaching or tutoring General Maths?

    4U Graphing question

    Have a close look at the graph from the graphing utility. The asymptote is not y=-x. It is y=-x-1. As t approaches -1 both x and y go to infinity, but the question is, in what fashion.

    Complex numbers- locus- hard

    p^2=p+1. Since p isn't zero, we may divide through to get p=1+p^-1 Rearranging this, we have p^-1 = p-1 Squaring, we obtain p^-2 = p^2-2p+1, but since p^2=p+1, we simplify this to p^-2 = -p+2. Square again, and then multiply by p^-1, using the equation p^2=p+1 to simplify at each step...

    4U Graphing question

    ^ Its not quite that simple. The asymptote is x+y+1=0. Foliumd If you use the parameterisation given on that webpage, x = 3t/(1 + t<SUP>3</SUP>), y = 3t<SUP>2</SUP>/(1 + t<SUP>3</SUP>) , you have to analyze what happens as t goes to -1. You can see that dy/dx approaches -1, also...
