    Who plans to continue doing maths at uni?

    10 people get into BSc(Advanced maths)???? But the cut-off is only 98.8 - does it have aditional selection criteria. Thats my first preference, but my uai waslike 97 something at last estimate. I'm relying on my olympiad involvement to get me through - but since I made the informatics team not...

    The 4U James Ruse trial...

    I can reveal from a reputable source that it was co-authored by a 3-Unit student and a maths olympian (not graham white).

    Graham White got 120. Alexander Zhang 101, Me 100. Prize cut-off was 98. I just learnt yesterday that you didn't lose marks for guessing! Feel ripped off as I didn't guess for 3 questions, 2 of them in section 2. How did everyone else go?

    Ruse paper can now be posted

    I know it was too easy, but it doesn't matter too much though. I managed to improve my rankings. I scored 104.5 compared to their estimate of 86. Still, I would have preferred it harder, but they'll never make it as hard as I want.

    any one doesn't do mechanics?

    It depends what you mean by capable. The problem is there is not enough time, you are forced to rush. Given a reasonable amount of time I'm sure many people could get close to 120. But you are forced to work at such a rate that when yoiu finish you only have at most 5 minutes left to check your...

    UNSW Maths Comp Prize Cermony

    I think they run two different comps, an assessment and an actual competition. The one I'm referring to does not provide you with the scores, and is a competition for prizes. Whatever you sat i don't think we do it at Ruse, don't ask me why. Would have liked to have done it though, just to see...

    Ruse paper can now be posted

    I don't have it yet I didn't keep the paper after the exam so I can't yet. I know other people from Ruse monitor this site, and Graham White posted a few times. I don't know which school people are from or the real names of people on this site so i don't know if there is anyone else from Ruse.

    some simple questions

    Analysis of two algorithms provided. Implementation is important, but I will assume the most efficent i know. For simplicity i will treat the problem as simplifying m!/n! Prime Factorisation: All the primes less than n can be found in O(nlogn) time by a prime sieve. Given all the prime...

    hardest 4u topic

    What specifically in the Harder 3U does everyone dislike? Can't be the inequalities, they are all just rearrangements of AM-GM or differentiatable.

    Theorem of Pappas (volumes)

    Hey, we at Ruse were taught that we could use this in the HSC.

    Maths comp

    Using the AMC as an assessment would be a good idea. I think we should do this state-wide.

    Maths comp

    These are too rushed, another 5-10min and I could have solved them all.

    Maths comp

    The octrahedral one was so easy if you recognised the symmetry. Each of the corners gets an equal share. Far out I missed 2 questions in section 2 and 1 in section 3. I tried solving the quadritic for 11, but i stuffed up and got a complex answer. For the increase or decrease by three i almost...
