    Mandarin vs Japanese

    Rosetta Stone is a useful program that is working wonders for me. Just something to consider for learning the basics which will help you when you get into actual lessons. =]

    Help please with frankenstein

    Lol yeah, that is a bit of an easy question... Also look at the use and abuse of power, the idea of exploiting nature, and maybe as an all encompassing point, the need for connection that ALL the characters have in the early part of the book. (Walton, Frankenstein, Elizabeth and the Monster)...

    Mandarin vs Japanese

    I am currently learning Mandarin. It's a lot of fun =] The hardest thing about it though, is that it's a tonal language. Potentially, one sound can have four different meanings depending on how you say it. I agree with the previous post though. I find it quite easy to remember. The characters...

    Induction Help

    (1+x)^n ≥ 1+nx (1+x)^n - 1 - nx ≥ 0 I'll just go from the n=k part Assume true for n=k i.e. (1+x)^k - 1 - kx ≥ 0 Prove true for n=k+1 (1+x)^(k+1) - 1 - (k+1)x ≥ 0 = (1+x)(1+x)^k - 1 - kx - x = (1+x)[(1+x)^k - 1 - kx] + kx^2 ≥ 0 Since (1+x)^k - 1 - kx ≥ 0, and kx^2 ≥ 0 Therefore it is true...

    Complex Numbers Question - Patel

    Hey again... I realised there was a WAY better way to do the last two parts lol. Instead of trying to rationalise the denominator, just divide in mod arg form and then convert into A + iB So: [√2*(1 + √3)cis(π/4)]/[√2*(1 - √3)cis(3π/4)] In this case, we divide the modulus and subtract the...

    Biology or Physics for HSC?

    Do physics! It is the best subject. For me, it was really easy most of the time. You just need to learn the dot points and you'll be fine. I've heard bio is like that too though. Physics definitely scales better. I would recommend it if you prefer numbers. It's nerdy, but Physics was my...

    Complex Numbers Question - Patel

    z1 + z2 = (1 + √3) + (√3 + 1)i Modulus = √[(1 + √3)² + (1 + √3)²] = √2(1 + √3)² = √2*(1 + √3) Argument: tan@ = (1 + √3)/(√3 + 1) = 1 @ = π/4 Therefore z1 + z2 = √2*(1 + √3)cis(π/4) z1 - z2 = (1 - √3) + (√3 - 1)i Modulus = Same as before except (-) instead of (+) Argument: Someone can probably...

    Songs for a video I'm editing? Ideas?

    American Idiot by Greenday lol? Might provide some contrast. Maybe look for some instrumental songs too. Maybe the theme from American Beauty or Cumulus by Imogen Heap. Also Music for a found Harmonium, maybe? Jump in the Pool by Friendly Fires may also work well. I have heaps of suggestions...

    Liquor Store???

    There is a Dan Murphy's currently under construction in my local community (yay!) and I would love to work there. I was wondering if anyone could give an approximation on how much an 18 year old would get paid at a place like this or similar? Would the starting wage be any different to...

    Post count... It went up, then down..?

    I was just curious... It's the first time it's happened. Well it was. It just happened again :S This time it went down by 2. Someone must be switching a fair few things around then :S :S :S

    Post count... It went up, then down..?

    I thought this was a little weird :S Why would this occur? Coud it be because a NS post was counted initially and then the error corrected itself? Or maybe the mods deleted a thread I had posted in? I may have answered my own question, but I'd just like to make sure.

    Maths Questions

    I think the conversion from 112.5 to hours and minutes was implied in clintmyster's answer :/ I wouldn't say it's "incorrect". 15/8 * 60 = 112.5 = 1 hour 52 minutes and 30 seconds.

    Belonging: Related Text Suggestions

    A sense of belonging to place and community is one idea. More prevalent though would be through shared trauma comes shared strength that is derived from a sense of belonging. They're the points I focussed on anyway...

    Official Pokemon game thread

    I recently finished SoulSilver hehe. The Japanese Version anyway... It was quite good. SS was the first game where I started delving into EV Training as well, which was fun at times. I'd play it again.

    Looking for a laptop that likes being used over 10 hours a day..?

    I got my first Macbook 2 and a half year ago. Recently, I got a unibody Macbook Pro. I gave my old one to my brother. It still works fine :S It has had an issue or two, but nothing that couldn't be fixed within 15 minutes. I can get an 8 hour battery life out of my Mac if I am continuously...

    Belonging: Related Text Suggestions

    I did 'Land of My Belonging' by Charles Bandy (poem), and Stand By Me which is a film produced by Rob Reiner. Since the belonging question last year said "at least one" I decided my essay was long enough without including Land of My Belonging as well... The film was perfect for belonging, I thought.
