    Mathematical Induction problem.

    It's an inequality so you can do a bit of sloppy maths: We want to show that if 2^k>k^3, then 2^(k+1)> (k+1)^3 So suppose that 2^k > k^3, and that k>9. Then 2^(k+1) = 2.2^k > 2k^3 = k^3+k^3 If we can show that k^3> 3k^2+3k+1, then we can say that 2k^3 > k^3+3k^2+3k+1 = (k+1)^3, and the...

    Mathematical Induction

    Does the question specifically tell you to use induction?

    Who hasnt got their Student ID yet?

    If you don't need the ID card straight away (i.e., you don't need the travel concession), it is often a good idea to wait until week 3 or 4 to pick it up. If you go in week 1, expect to queue for an hour or more.

    What you hate about UNSW

    Australian unis are generally falling over themselves to get fee paying international students, so I would be surprised if you couldn't work something out with a different uni (like MQ or UTS, maybe).

    Advanced Mathematics Questions

    For the indution Q, I assume that you have proved the basis step. We assum that 2^n>n^2+1 Multiply both sides by 2, then 2^(n+1)>2n^2+2. Now since n>4, n^2 >2n, so 2n^2+2>n^2+2n+2= (n+1)^2+1

    fee paying help!!!!?!?!?

    Well, for a start, you don't get a 20% discount if you pay $500. You only get a 20% discount on the amount that you pay and only if it is more than $500.

    Doing a full degree overseas

    Why don't you get a BSc in zoology here and then go OS for post grad work in ornithology? It is generally much easier to study overseas at post grad level and if your undergraduate results are good (i.e., first class honours) you can often get somebody else to pay for it.

    general UNSW chit-chat

    Concession algorithm from the handbook is listed in Table 3. https://my.unsw.edu.au/student/academiclife/assessment/Grades.html#Table3:ConcessionAlgorithm You would need to have a WAM of more than 55 before they would give you a PC for a mark of 47.

    Brief question about my future career

    Yes indeed, the education degree is total crap, and you want to finish it in the minimum time possible. It does not in any way enhance your ability to teach, which you will have to learn on the job. Atm, you can do a BSc/BEd at UNSW which takes 4 years for a pass degree and 5 if you decide...

    Complex Questions.

    Part of the solution to Q3.

    Complex number question help!

    Don't they need to be non-zero?

    Vector, Vertices

    The diagonals of a rectangle are of equal length and bisect each other.

    Hecs help?

    You only get the discount on the bit that you pay up front.

    should teachers teach beyond the syllabus

    Have you taught General yet?

    Which uni for teaching?

    No.

    Higher Mathematics 1A

    I think enjoyment of mathematics is a very good reason to do 1141 over 1131.

    should teachers teach beyond the syllabus

    I don't think it would be such a problem to structure the course that way, but it would be difficult to assess fairly on a statewide basis.

    Higher Mathematics 1A

    The person to talk to about that is Daniel Chan. I've just checked on the class timetable, and there seem to be lots of places available in the other tutorials, so I don't know why you're having trouble enrolling.

    Primary Teaching

    You can always move between the two areas later if you want to.

    time management @ uni

    Well, there is some tutoring at uni, but it is meant for struggling students - I've never heard of anyone getting tutored in their major. If that were the case, a serious rethink of the path one has chosen in life is required.
