Talk about anything to do with your upcoming Trials here! Rants, rambles, your goals, what your issues are, anything you need help with (general questions, not subject related) are all welcome =)

If you had the ability to remove a topic from the Extension 2 Mathematics course, what topic would you remove?

What is your favourite word from the Extension 2 Mathematics course?

\\ $Consider the words APPLES and ORANGES. Let the number of distinct permutations of the letters in the word APPLES be $ P_A $ and similarly $ P_O $ for oranges.$ \\\\ $a) By considering the ratio $ \frac{P_O}{P_A} $, prove that $ P_O > P_A . \\\\ $b) Deduce that oranges are greater than apples.$

What's your favourite Weis Bar flavour? Also, feel free to discuss how awesome they are (I love them so much). Also, didn't know that there existed raspberry flavoured bars until I made the poll.

Of all the high school Mathematics topics you have studied until now, which is the one you LEAST enjoy? Perhaps also provide a reason as to why you don't like it.

Many parents (unfortunately) have the mentality that if they throw more money into the pot for their children's tuition, then they expect to have more marks in the end. Sometimes, the tuition provides little/no benefit, and the parent blames the tuition college/private tutor. Discuss.

How long do you generally prefer your Mathematics lessons to be, such that there is a fine balance between content absorbed and the amount of content covered? Too long -> Lots covered, but not all of it absorbed Too short -> Not much covered, but maximised concentration period Will...

Vote one Straight cut: Crinkle cut:

Since this section is a bit quiet at the moment, here's something to promote a bit of discussion. \\ $We know that the quadratic discriminant for the polynomial $ P(x)=ax^2+bx+c $ (assume that a,b and c are real) is given by $ b^2-4ac. \\\\ $So for a quadratic to have no real roots, we must...

As a student (or if you've graduated, 'when you were a student'), what would YOU have wanted personally for Mathematics notes? For example, you may like lots of worked examples, or lots of proofs, or more theorems made clearer etc. Perhaps you wanted lots of diagrams, or colour booklets...

I'll just release them as I do them. Won't be as fast or nice as 4U guys, not at home =( BTW Projectile motion can be done a lot faster if you practise enough with trig inequalities, but I included a diagram for reference.

Would you rather: 1. Receive solutions earlier, but hand written (I'll do them nicely dw). 2. Receive solutions later, but typed. And also: 1. Receive all in 1 go, but later. 2. Release each question as I do them.

Here is a first and quick draft: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?39c7ddyqussbj3n Please excuse any typographical errors or Mathematical errors, if they exist.

1. Stay focused and minimise panicking. 2. Make links to previous parts. Keep thinking 'What do I have, and what do I need?'. If your expression has a whole bunch of tans, but the required result has a whole bunch of sines and cosines, then that's a clue to convert all the tans to sin/cos etc...

What do you guys snack on whilst studying?

Do you guys break the 'noodle block' in half or whatever when you cook it, or do you just pour the water onto the block as it is?
