    Choosing Tutorials/Lectures

    Timetable Unit - Index You can look up most centrally timetabled units already, only thing thats difficult to predict is how tutorials & deliveries with a large number of streams will fit together.

    Choosing Tutorials/Lectures

    Advanced Maths timetabling at usyd is a disgrace... 1st year was 4 x 8AM starts, and 2nd year is going to be 4 x 8-10AM blocks (for analysis & calculus in 1st semester).

    If they're centrally timetabled, they're assigned.

    Quick Mathematics Question

    Ahuh, why would the answer be any different from the general case with a \in \mathbb{C}?

    First part sounds like what people used to say about Big Brother - doesn't mean its not totally fucking retarded.

    usyd enrolment

    'What is the justice'? Don't really know what you're asking, but the standard level maths courses are really rather pedestrian - they teach you to use maths rather than about maths, if that makes sense. Everything's covered in more detail in the advanced units, with more mathematical rigour...

    Advanced Mathematics @ USYD

    Assessment for the 1st year advanced maths units is 2 x tutorial quizzes (10% ea), 2 x assignments (5% ea) and the final exam (70%).

    Advanced Mathematics @ USYD

    There's a pretty big difference in difficulty, and a very big difference in the rigour of the standard/advanced units. That being said, I only did 3U maths at the HSC and got great marks in advanced maths at uni. The biggest pain in the ass about the courses was the fact that every single...

    Chances of getting in final round?

    Can't say whether or not you'd get in (and no-one else here can give anything more than a vague suggestion), but I'd enrol at UNSW now, wait for the late round, and if you get into usyd you can cancel your enrolment at UNSW.

    Drugs kill daughter, parents blame unscrupulous people for taking advantage of her

    Re: Drugs kill daughter, parents blame unscrupulous people for taking advantage of he lol, I think you might find there's even a decreased likelihood of crime for this particular drug In the end it all comes down to whether you think existing measures work, and whether you think the...

    Drugs kill daughter, parents blame unscrupulous people for taking advantage of her

    Re: Drugs kill daughter, parents blame unscrupulous people for taking advantage of he Everyone has their biases, if the argument is coherent (apparently a rarity here), what difference does it make? And no, my opposition to criminal law as a social instrument extends only to the...

    Drugs kill daughter, parents blame unscrupulous people for taking advantage of her

    Re: Drugs kill daughter, parents blame unscrupulous people for taking advantage of he For a start, if half of the money allocated for the absurd "war on drugs" was used for rehabilitation and preventative measures (instead of searching and arresting people before they've even commited an...

    Drugs kill daughter, parents blame unscrupulous people for taking advantage of her

    Re: Drugs kill daughter, parents blame unscrupulous people for taking advantage of he Yeah, telling isn't it. The way some people will so cavalierly criticise something they've never tried, let alone done any substantial research on - what a surprise they tend to be the people raised in...

    General Thoughts - Mathematics

    I thought it was a very straightforward test :/ (3u student here)... Usually I stick asterisks next to the questions I can't do immediately; didn't have to do that at all in this paper. Found it pretty breezy up to Q10 b, where I somehow lacked the insight to cross-multiply once I'd...

    Answer to 10b?

    You have no idea how retarded I feel... I found a common denominator once I'd differentiated (mindlessly), and the resultant expression was impossible to solve. The entire time I was staring at it (and it was a long time believe me, I found the previous 9 questions VERY easy, even compared to...

    Answers To Difficult Questions

    Not sure if you're talking about flame tests or AAS here. I'll assume you were talking about AAS, in which case when I talked about the return to ground states I was referring to the flame test. The role of the flame in AAS, I was always told, was simply to volatilise the sample, not...

    For 15, I answered Initiator but in retrospect can see the strong argument for Chlorine radicals acting as catalysts. The thing that gets me is that when considering the composition and decomposition of ozone wholly, the presence of Chlorine radicals changes the position of equilibrium...
