Omium said: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);

>f(A);
ColumnDimension(A)-Rank(A) isn't enough
A simple iteration procedure witha0 = 1 and
an+1 = 2 + ln an, n 0,
is being used to find an approximate solution to the equation lnx = x − 2. Use a
for. . .while loop to find the first value of an such that |an − an−1| < 10−5. 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.]
Thats why i kept getting errors... thanksForbidden. said:
>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];
Don't forget to press SHIFT+ENTER to enter new lines in one running command
I shud get full marks for everything except the pgoramming...... meh. Ill have 40mins during the test to figure it out.Forbidden. said:

'i ask second year students about differentiation and they're like "mmm...rrr....mmmmm"'Omium said:Jonathan Kress is a very good lecturer..
lol for a sec i thought he was joking when he said "Have you guys done integration?!?!"

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.
lol, i feel guilty bout saying that now :SForbidden. said:he was the one we described with the "pedosmile" but now he looks like some guy from some metal band named Dragonforce.
I had mine at 4pm....Forbidden. said:EDIT: I had my maple test and it was bullshit
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.Omium said: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....
(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 .
..
Though thanks to the Orange maple book i managed to complete everything. so hopefully i should get full marks.
What kinda questions you get?
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%.Forbidden. said: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
lol i never thought of thatOmium said: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" ?
yeah it was good except some subjects were uber gay and what not.BIGTYMA said:how did u guys fair this sem?
lol i havent seen u round often in this thread but nonetheless the Faculty of Engineering considers Computer Science students as engineers anyway.darkwolfzx said:ok lol i got by
i kinda also mistook that definition for software engineers.darkwolfzx said:we are by nature engineers. We design and build the software that runs on your machiens.
I did that in S1, i hated it, 54 PS, eff yeah!Forbidden said:COMP1911
