Re: Math help (Because Carrot made me do this) Graph y=x(\pi-x)\sin\left(\frac{1}{\sin(x)}\right) on its largest possible domain inside the interval -\pi\leq x\leq \pi. ;).

you wish...

lol

I smell jealousy.

+1 on all points. Shadow you have no idea what you are talking about.

Exciting! Best of luck :). I may run into you some time in the future.

Haha oh well, A2 is a decent hand to make a stand with in that position. Where were you playing?

Cool, Andrew is my supervisor at the moment. Are you his old student who is currently working with Peter Sarnak?

I would avoid doing that. Sounds like the sort of thing that anal markers would jump on.

Yep I know! I was still finalising my enrolment and such last month. Did you go? Also, who was your thesis supervisor at ANU?

Re: Official BOS Mathematics Trial Examinations: Spring Edition. The limit at the end is just an expression for the derivative of ln(x) at x=1, and the derivative of ln(x) is 1/x...which is 1 at x=1.

Yep, agreed. Glad you are enjoying it! I am doing broad background work in harmonic analysis, functional analysis and PDE theory at the moment. My proposed thesis problem involves the study of a property known as quantum ergodicity.

Yep, that was at 2:10.

I don't know if St Aloysius is top 25 at the moment, or if it was then. It is a decent school without being one of the very top ones.

Tbh I thought I got full marks raw :P. I felt insanely good about it when I walked out. I checked my answers with other people I knew would be near the top and all my answers where you get a number/algebraic expression at the end were correct. (A couple of these people ranked higher than me). So...

About 2 hours 10 minutes, but I was pretty careful...I didn't end up changing anything when I looked over it I don't think.

Haha I finished at 2:10 and was in the bathroom for the next 10-15 chilling before checking everything.

Lol I had to take a shit during my mx2 exam. Only time I'd ever been stupid enough to not think about it.

Yep your second method is correct. Incidentally, this is a fantastic bet to make at a party. People who are non-mathematical seem to find it counter-intuitive and when you have say 30 people in the room, the probability jumps to >70%.

Haha am just interested in seeing how I would do if I tried to do an mx2 exam out of the blue, I'm probably much slower than I used to be.
