Hey, this is a NOTICE:

If you're good at mathematics, or want to see how good you really are...

then

try out the HSC EXAM of 4002!

It's a 5 hour exam, based on past HSC papers and in the exact same format, but still contains only 10 questions...or should I say question 10's... =)

If you even so much as pass this exam, then you're in that top 2-3% bracket of the state, from 1995 - 2004!

And if you ACE this exam (i.e. 90% or above / band 6)

Then you are just a bloody friggin genius!!!!!!

Try it out, in the alotted time period. See how ya go!

Good luck! =)

P.S, if it's not in the resources section yet, then

lol even a genius doesn't finish this exam in less than 4 hours (and that's if you're like THE top of the state in maths)

well i did try to make something that was actually within the grasp of those doing 2 unit, rather than those doing 4 unit.... a 2 unit student who knows the syllabus doesnt need to know any 3/4 unit mathematics to complete this exam...so this exam paper is actually feasible (in a very unlikely way)

but if you're an awesome 2 unit student, you should be able to finish (alot of it) within the 5 hours recommended.

Jya? Ya.

Yawn...

Boring. Going back to observing the IMO on Mathlink and waiting for the questions to be released. At least they're difficult enough to provide a challenge.

Here are some cool questions I've found:

2UNIT HSC EXAM: 6 Hours
===================

Q1. Given a line of infinite length (L) and a point (P) outside that line, prove that an infinite number lines parallel to (L) may be drawn passing through (P).


Q2. a) Find the solid of revolution when 2x2 - 3y2 - 4xy = 0 is rotated about the y-axis.
b) Sketch the graph


Q3. Prove using induction, that for u>3, no rational values of a & b may be found for the condition:
au + bu = 1


Q4. Let z = cos(x) + isin(x), where i = Root(-1)
a) Prove
z = eix
b) Hence, show that
iii = 0.947158998 + 0.32076445 i

Q5. Prove that this question has no solution.


---End of Exam----

The Q10's exam would slightly favour those that are strong in trig and financial maths. Interesting parody though.

Apart from the fact it violates the axioms of Euclidean geometry, sure.

What's wrong with these smart asses in the maths forum. The mods should do something...
