    good idea for xtra marks

    As I said, doing Q1 10 times is better :D State ranking here I come XDD

    Recommended Math Books

    You spelt Coroneos wrong :P I still reckon that it's the only book you need. I had Cambridge, but never actually used it.

    Recommended Math Books

    Coroneos FTW. Although it misses some things like d/dx (a^x) = a^x * lna (Is this even in the 2U maths syllabus??)

    Circle Geometry Question

    lol, why are you asking this. Ext 1 HSC is over lol.

    Legible Handwriting

    lol, mine's a shocker in exam conditions.

    good idea for xtra marks

    Here's a better idea: Why don't we just do Q1 10 times? :D

    Band E4 cut off for 2009 exam?

    Same here. Two people at our school who were getting literally 20-30% for their assessments (incl. trials) ended up getting E3. Our teacher said "God knows how!!".

    Fitzpatrick - is it really that bad?

    Why not? It was the only 4U book out there when the course was first introduced. I think it's as good as it was back then as it is today.

    Last minute proofs etc

    It was just pi/4 < alpha < pi/2 IIRC... I don't think you need a calculator solve values for which tan alpha < 1 ???

    General Thoughts: Mathematics Ext 1

    Ext 2 is always hard... looking at past papers would've established this.
  13. C

    Last minute proofs etc

    Well for starters the whole exam was theoretical... There wasn't really any nasty calculations involved. I rarely use a calculator anyway, I make too many mistakes.

    Quadratic Inequality Help !!!!!!!!!!!

    You could also take cases... more annoying though.

    Last minute proofs etc

    lol, I did without a calculator for my MX2 exam :P

    Fitzpatrick - is it really that bad?

    Umm... I used Fitzpatrick for complex numbers and polynomials only. But I also used the Coroneos 4U book in lieu with that. I reckon use Cambridge (or some other decent book) for harder 3U and graphs and then use Coroneos 4U book + Coroneos 4U supplement. Alot of people are put off by the...

    General Thoughts: Mathematics Ext 1

    In the HSC there are no marks given for the concluding statement. Yeah that's what my teacher taught me, but apparently the HSC doesn't like this 'mantra', so I just wrote "Hence it is true for all n>= 1, by induction", which is what they prefer (as said in the 2005 (and 2007 I think) MX2...

    2009 Mathematics 2U HSC Worked Solutions

    I think they don't deduct marks in the HSC if you don't write "+c" for integration usually anyway.

    General Thoughts: Mathematics Ext 1

    Well 2 d.p. means radians. If it asked for it to the nearest minute or degree, then you have to write it in degrees obviously. I dunno, second thoughts?
