Q2. tangent at P: xcos@/a + ysin@/b = 1 at T, y=0, hence x=a/cos@ From RHS tan^2@/(1-e^2) = tan^2@/(b^2/a^2) =[(sin@/cos@)*(a/b)]^2 =[asin@/bcos@]^2 hence, Prove: (PT/PN)^2=[asin@/bcos@]^2 RTP: PT/PN=asin@/bcos@ In triangle PCT & triangle PNT (let C be where the...

Trotsky and happy. :) (But I love Russia, so of course I'm pleased.)

i agree with serpentia. it's nothing terrible but nothing really grabs me about it on first reading. except that it doesn't make any sense - sometimes it feels as though you're trying too hard with the formation of your lines - why emphasise the 'and' in 'full of painful cries and controlled...

well...i kind of took over my dad's old workroom - i don't actually need two computers, so i set up the scanner, printer and other digital imaging miscellania on the second computer. yeah, as far as study space goes, i have it pretty good. :D oh, btw i'm a girl.

i have two long parallel tables, with a computer set up on each, so i can move back and forth between the two workspaces. on one i have a selection of books and references lined up and some art materials, on the other is a lot of folders and textbooks and my huge box of...

Mmm. there really wasn't anything i was madly in love with, but generally i thought it was a good exhibition. personally, i'm not a huge fan of social commentary through artwork because i find it a bit stifling/topical and verging on trite, however most of the ideas were resolved well through...

I'm having trouble developing my Body of Work - it's taken me forever to develop a concept and the one I've chosen is now heavily entrenched in perceptions of self and identity and insect morpholgy. But I am having the most difficult time developing this into a series of works (or a work at...

recently i've been practicing sight reading (even though AMEB killed the requirement for diploma's) with Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. While I am probably murdering one of my favourite pieces of music, my sight-reading has improved exponentially.

mmmk. now i can -officially- declare that i'm doing fifteen(15). sleep is a lot less necessary than you think. same with actually doing homework.

ha, my prelim one? not too hot - i don't do sciences, instead i did history and art - but i got a certificate for it, twice. :D N.B: something else about Ruse - they're lame enough to give us UAI estimates starting prelim year after each semster of assessments. Talk about cranking up the...

yeah yeah yeah. ruse - we study, we cheat and we're plotting world domination. whilst being completely unincumbered by a personality. hmmm. definitely sounds about right.

wow wow wow. traci harding is terrible!!! - but i can't deny my friend and i are driven to read them compulsively just so we can bitch about how crap they are etc etc etc. mmm. um, haven't read much of eddings but i hated what i had read, very predictable and so conventional with his...

Literally? Like, they're about to menstruate? :D or just the symptoms?

i know quite a few people using poetry this year -- you should only practice this medium if you have confidence in your poetic ability. it's probably a lot harder to bullshit your skills and sophistication because poetry is all about the use of language and most teenagers have a tendency to...

I'm in her class. *points above* Can't wait to do Russia and Trotsky - it's currently my favourite country and I have a thing for revolutionaries which possibly self-destructive. But the Pacific Conflict >> anyone capable of reassuring me I won't just fall asleep?

hahahaha. not quite - actually, that would be totally understandable and just the teacher's being stupid. no, it's much much more sad. the textbook solutions (like solved solutions to cambridge etc.) are kept for communal use in the library and someone goes there before every assessment and...

hmm. paris. ok -- now my brain just ran away from me. do not mention that city unless you want me to grin like clown on narcotics and float around the house, mmmk? and wow. how kind of you to accommodate my love of the beat poets. >facepalm<

mmmm. not really. quite a few of my friends this year aren't doing maths at all and nothing terrible has happened to them - aside from rubbing their free periods in our face! oh oh, except the p.e teachers! some of them are hell 'if you can't handle the pressure, you should leave!' but they're...

mmm. well, i think he liked it so be flattered! andand he had never/ still hasn't (i didn't bother to enlighten him) heard of Celan. Russian. now there's a language i would totally take up in uni. 'the russian winters are endless'...sounds delicious. snow, fur coats, revolutions. pity about...
