    Listing out data in calculations-What's the point?

    The benefit of listing it is that you can check that all units in the calculation match at an overview. Say you are talking about the energy-mass equivalence equation, if you are given: Mass = 0.2 g Speed of light = 3E+8 m/s and you write: E=mc^2 Where: m = 0.2 g c = 3E+8 m/s ...it shows the...

    uow med sci 2007

    Dnt knw wat de fuk u typd You don't have to push each keyboard button 3 times to get the letter you want, so why type like a retarded little kid? The extra seconds it takes to type in proper readable english more than makes up for it otherwise taking 5 times as long to read.

    BMS101:Systemic Anatomy Tute/prac enrollment

    I'm pretty sure with BMS101 enrolments didn't open until the first week of uni and labs/tuts started week 2.

    medical phyiscs, who else is doing it?

    Exactly our situation. He even wrote the 2004 HSC Chemistry paper, so quanta to quarks was a logical choice for him. At the high school level, it wont really matter which elective you pick. In the UOW Medical and Radiation Physics degree, you have to wait until third year until you hit the...

    Prac Projectile Motion Help

    In any projectile motion prac there will be aerodynamic drag on the object (however small). Under the assumption your experiment starts as a ball rolling down a slope and off a desk, friction will also play a notable role in inducing systematic error.

    how are radioactice isotopes metabolised by the body?

    This isn't true when irradiating thyroid gland tissue. As the thyroid requires a regular uptake of Iodine in order to synthesise thyroid hormones (due to T3 being composed of 2x tyrosine and 3x iodine and T4 being composed of 2x tyrosine and 4x iodine). Conveniently, 131I is a short-lived...

    2006 Spring session results are out

    PHYS255 - HD (Radiation Physics, my favourite subject so pretty happy) PHYS225 - D BMS112 - D (Gotta love first year subjects) PHYS215 - C MATH291 - C Not too happy this time around, 2 many C's than I would have liked; but still just holding onto that D average. Should get a bit easier...

    failng

    It depends on the subject. If it is a PC, you are fine just continue onto the next subject (unless it has some specific requirement). If it is a PR or a F then looks like you will have to do the subject again. It is possible you may be able to repeat the subject in Spring, or even Summer; it...

    2006 Autumn Session Results

    You should be right with getting a HD average though, shouldn't you? Even if you were to have some catastrophic score of 84 in something. Hehe

    2006 Autumn Session Results

    3 D's and 1 C. I better put more work in next session, I've been a slacker over autumn. Ah well, my average has only gone from 79 to 78 so I can't be too upset.

    UNSW Maths Competition

    $100 isn't much. It wont even buy you a big night out or one uni textbook.

    UNSW Maths Competition

    I've got a lot of these UNSW Maths certificates dating from year 6 onwards. In hindsight, I don't really see the purpose of actually sitting the test due to university entrace being based almost exlusively on the UAI.

    Past Papers

    The first place to look would be either the WebCT page or webpage for your course (if one exists). The next place to look is the UOW Library website's past papers resource: LINK

    Medical Radiation Physics and HSC Maths

    Providing you are sufficiently skilled in mathematics, MATH188 is only somewhat of an advantage when you are doing a degree in Physics where you only require a Pass. However, it you are certain you can acheive a Credit in MATH142, then it will lift your marks up due it covering less concepts...

    Medical Radiation Physics and HSC Maths

    Every lecturer says that. Easy to them when they have a PhD in that field.

    Converse of Galilean/Newtonian Principle of Relativity

    Relativity in the HSC form is a very simple, concept-based topic. The Lorentz transformation equations are really simple to use. (Deriving them is not as simple, but that's well beyond the scope of the HSC). To teach Physics at the HSC level as a newly graduated teacher, you are only required to...

    Flex your maths muscles!

    Just thought I'd add some questions in to keep you school kiddies busy: Find the following improper integrals: 28. ∫xn∙sin(ax)∙dx 29. ∫dx/(cos(x)-sin(x)+1) 30. ∫(x2+1)dx/(x(x-2)(x+3)) 31. ∫ln(tan(x))sec2(x)∙tan(x)∙dx Write in cartesian form: 32. (-1+i)7 33. (√2/2 - i∙√2/2)12 Solve for z...

    Medical Radiation Physics and HSC Maths

    If you're doing engineering, one of the main things you will use will be differential equations, which will be one of the topics in 188 and then later in 283. I'm guessing you've got Adam Piggot for vector geometry by the sounds of the rave reviews. If yes, did he do the whole hummingbird...
