But then what of this definition? I know no-one solves derivatives this way, but that's how I was introduced to it...so wouldn't it be saying more than just the gradient of the tangent line at a given point? If there isn't any more to it, well then the lectures I have been watching confused me...

I've been doing the 2U maths and there is just one thing that's driving me crazy...I just cannot understand was a derivative actually is. The books and sites provide very complex definitions and I just want to understand it clearly. What is a derivative? Solving them is ok but I feel so stupid...

Thanks for the advice, I'll ask my maths teacher when school begins :)

I remember ASTC as All Students Take Classes...although I did not learn how this circle definition came about. Could someone please explain it to me??? Or is it too complex to bother understanding???

Happy New Year everyone! Best of luck to the class of 2012 and 2013!

Music 1 is the easier course I heard, some people I know are taking it and they cannot even read music. However,at the end of the day it is up to you what subjects you choose.

Haha not doing Music 2?? Just asking, since your username...

Mathematics Mathematics Ext. English Advanced English Extension Ancient History Physics Music 2 Russian Background Speakers yep, a pretty full plate. I am expecting to drop some by year 12.

+2 :D ...haven't done my HSC yet, so I don't know what my word will be worth but...If I turn out to be in this situation is two years time I would definitely contact them and do all I can to clear up the confusion.

Haha...I just realized my tedious rant is the first post on this thread for over a year XD

Just sayin...Jane Austen was an author during the Regency Period (i.e when George IV ruled on behalf of his father King George III because the King went mad). It was before the Victorian era (1837-1901) and way before the Edwardian era, (1901-1910). Your points regarding the characters are very...

May she rest in peace. Her mother actually ended up committing suicide when Sevtlana was 6 because she could not take her husband's cruelty to the people. It was said that Stalin made his wife have up to 10 abortions! Stalin was truly a monster, my great-great grandfather had all his property...

It staggers me all the benefits they get, and still they seem to want more!? In all honesty, yes, I believe the government is helping them too much. If they want the benefits, it should only be right they give something back to society, after all, that's where their money comes from . It doesn't...

SC marks are not an indicator for HSC marks for most. People tend to work harder for the HSC and if you do, judging from your marks, I reckon you could make 80.00 if not more.

:O NOOO, so there is not hope for me then :,( Actually there were quite a few white people this year that came 1st in state...just sayin. If you work very hard race should have nothing to do with it.

^ This. Totally agree!!

This is going to sound majorly nerdy, but I read in depth analysis notes on Victorian era classics (or other Classics for that matter). That way, I get some moral benefits if there isn't a fun plot to follow... Not all are boring, gothic novels from the past have great plots AND an impressive...

Read, read, read! Preferably novels from the Victorian era (published 1837-1901). Authors like George Eliot, W.M Thackeray, the Bronte sisters, Thomas Hardy (highly recommended!), Nathaniel Hawthorne etc etc While being rather prolix, these novels have a wonderful array of words. Also, in my...

My results pale by comparison to most people's here, but I got 1st in Music third year in a row. Hoping to make it my fourth next year (since only 3 people are doing Music 2). Came like 5th in the grade for English and Science and 3rd in Geography. However those places don't get awards.

+1 AHAHAHAAHA My first reaction was "why us Russians?" my second was "I didn't know we were so good!" my third was "Oh wait...how stupid of me!" *facepalm*
