Hi, I'm having trouble understanding the timetabling in myUNSW. For instance, if a lecture is as follows, LEC4877Tue 9:00 am - 10:00 am (1-5,6,7-12)Fri 11:00 am - 12:00 pm (1-5,6,7-12)Wed 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm...

Hi, I'm doing this degree: UNSW Handbook Program - Engineering/Commerce - 3715 Now, I can choose from: MATH1131 Mathematics 1A (6 UOC) MATH1141 Higher Mathematics 1A (6 UOC) MATH1231 Mathematics 1B (6 UOC) MATH1241 Higher Mathematics 1B (6 UOC) PHYS1121 Physics 1A (6 UOC)...

Yeah I read all that... But see UNSW Handbook Program - Engineering/Commerce - 3715 which is the course that I'm doing... Note where it says: Well it happens that the link is dead... So what do I do? :S

Uhh, where was this asked? Does it matter how we answered it? Can we change our answer?

Hi, I'm doing B Comm/Eng. I got an offer etc and have access to myUNSW... I haven't enrolled in any subjects yet... How am I supposed to know which subjects/courses that I'm supposed to enrol in??? :S

Haha Terry Lee... :mad1: After having done the course, I think it's good to focus on one textbook for each topic. I don't think Terry Lee is a good textbook for starting off. It's too hard and some stuff are really irrelevant/non HSC style questions. What topic are you doing now?

No you're not pretty.

The slingshot effect can be analogous to bouncing a ball against a wall that's moving from the ball, or towards the ball. That's how my Physics teacher explained it anyway. But IIRC the dotpoint says "Identify that the slingshot effect..." meaning that you don't need to go into that much...

Hmm okay... Well do you think I could "update" my FOI request? I received a reply today confirming my application from Steven Parks.

Damn. I sent my FOI application in on Friday for my raw marks, etc .... No, they are marking guidelines.

There is one little bit in the syllabus that requires you to consider non uniform circular motion when proving the tangential and normal components of circular motion. Anyway, check out 10.5 of the current 2U/3U syllabus. It states: Other considerations are symmetry about the axes, behaviour...

I hate LateX lol. Edited :)

You should really write \int_0^{\infty}x^{n-1}e^{-x}\,dx as \lim_{b \to \infty}\int_0^{b}x^{n-1}e^{-x}\,dx I think...

:S But that would yield no limit if the degree of the leading term on the numerator is higher than the degree of the leading term on the denominator... (ie. when an oblique asymptote exists).

Yeah I thought of that as well. Esp, in curve sketching which require multiple applications of the product rule (eg. to find y'' when y is a 'complicated' function) But I figured that it would be too much "mucking around" at 2U/3U level. But in 4U you never know ;)

Find the general solutions to: cos4\theta+cos2\theta=\sqrt2 cos^2\theta+\frac{1}{\sqrt2}sin2\theta [6 m]

Interesting. Specifically how does the Year 11 Cambridge book introduce oblique asymptotes using limits?

New question: (a) Using the result for tan(A+B), prove that tan(A+B+C)=\frac{tanA+tanB+tanC-tanAtanBtanC}{1-tanAtanB-tanBtanC-tanCtanA} [2 m] (b) Given that A, B and C are the angles of a triangle and \frac{tanA}{5}=\frac{tanB}{6}=\frac{tanC}{7}=k \text{, show that } k=\sqrt{\frac{3}{35}}...

New question: If \ y=(1+x^3)^{1+x^3} \ find \ \frac{dy}{dx}

I would still recommend 3U students to go through this because I've seen a few questions asked in assessments and trials of schools. However, I haven't ever seen them in 4U exams.
