Forbidden could you post the solution to this: (Its from the Sample paper)
btw Question 14 should now have:

f:=proc(A)
> return ColumnDimension(A)-Rank(A);
> end proc;

>f(A);

ColumnDimension(A)-Rank(A) isn't enough

A simple iteration procedure with​
a0 = 1 and

a​
n+1 = 2 + ln an, n  0,

is being used to find an approximate solution to the equation ln​
x = x 2. Use a

for​
. . .while loop to find the first value of an such that |an an1| < 105. Display this
value of
an to 10 significant figures. Do NOT allow Maple to display any of the earlier
values of
an.
[Don’t forget that you need to use
evalf in stating conditions and you will probably need

to assign values to both
a[0] and a[1] before starting your loop.]

>a[0]:=1:a[1]:=evalf(2+ln(1)):
for n from 1 while evalf(a[n]-a[n-1])>=10^(-5) do
a[n+1]:=2+ln(a[n])
end do:
a[n];

Thats why i kept getting errors... thanks :)

part B of Question 14 should be

>f:=proc(A)
return ColumnDimension(A)-Rank(A);
end proc;


because ColumnDimension(A)-Rank(A) isn't enough

then apply function to a matrix A so:

>f(A)

Jonathan Kress is a very good lecturer..

lol for a sec i thought he was joking when he said "Have you guys done integration?!?!"

'i ask second year students about differentiation and they're like "mmm...rrr....mmmmm"'

he was the one we described with the "pedosmile" but now he looks like some guy from some metal band named Dragonforce.
pretty awesome guy i reckon, even lame jokes like his keep me awake in calculus lectures.
he should replace the other guy but hes goddamn short on time always and i cant see his goddamn examples.

lol u must like reading magazines.

EDIT: I had my maple test and it was bullshit

Yer, he was actually really good. For the first time in a calculus lecture i looked at my fone and was shocked we were 50mins into the lecture...

lol, i feel guilty bout saying that now :S

I had mine at 4pm....

I was hoping there was no loop and no procedure ("proc") questions....
i was shocked when i saw 2 questions, a loop one and a procedure one....:vcross:
(The procedure one was effin hard, it said if n is divisible by 6 then n = (n^2+n)/2 if its not divisible then it equals some other equation...
I had no idea how to do a procedure let alone do that !


for the geom3d question. There was a sphere question :mad: .
..


Though thanks to the Orange maple book i managed to complete everything. so hopefully i should get full marks.

What kinda questions you get?

1. got an abstract function involving some hyperbolic trig and needed to differeniate with respect to y then x, using the D operator which DOESN'T GET ME SHIT.

2. got an ODE, easy to solve but only worth 2 marks

3. got a recursion which didnt fucken work out because of some 'cant determine if this value is greater or equal to this value'

4. a horrible vector geometry question where maple complained about my arguments and it came with a sphere to make things worse. so i thought 'fuck it' and then proceeded to enter relevant commands (because answers dont matter apparently) even though maple complained about my earlier command in entering a plane or something
mine was on tuesday 4pm

maple was a real cuntfuck

Ah, I thought you were gana ace it, your answers that you posted up were very good.. its only 8% though so you should at least get 6%.

In the end, none of this matters as the final test is worth 68 % /faint.



Btw, Should i take Pics with Ellis and The calculus dude on the last lecture for "memories" ?

how did u guys fair this sem?
yeah it was good except some subjects were uber gay and what not.
im talking about the ones offered by CIVIL & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING.
MATH2019 is the last time I will be in same lectures/classes as friends in civil engineering.

ok lol i got by
lol i havent seen u round often in this thread but nonetheless the Faculty of Engineering considers Computer Science students as engineers anyway.

and yes ok lol i got by too =)

we are by nature engineers. We design and build the software that runs on your machiens. :D

i kinda also mistook that definition for software engineers.
i kinda miss C programming after dropping from COMP1911 but the other side of me says no i dont miss it because i got a DN in ENGG1811

you won't miss C when you have to write shitloads of pointer oriented code XD
