if ur sayn the difficultu difference between 272 compared to 171 and 171 compared to 170 os the same..then ur like ...how do u say....WRONG

i'd say 171 is 3 times harder than 170 and 272 is 100000 times harder than 171

lagrange multiplier and linear difference equation questions? i'll give them shiny dollars and eternal gratitude...

I've recently heard of the term lagrange multiplier (in Math235, a couple of weeks ago) and linear difference equation (in Acst211, which I did more than half a year ago, ie. I can't remember). Lagrange multiplier is difficult, I couldn't be bothered understanding. Just learn the process ie. memorise how to do questions on them.

Does that mean 272 is 300 000 times harder than 170? Well, good luck! Because I know people who failed 170, and if 272 is 300 000 times harder, I don't want to know!

that's good advice though its the process i'm looking for i'm just very confused about the whole thing and don't know how i'm gonna sort it out! i went to the numeracy centre and read through their books and none of it really made sense. oh if i only had a brain, la la la la la la la la la

 

[redruM]

it would have been sweet for me if i didnt do stat171....it isnt even compulsory for me!?!!!!
i wish i knew of how fucked up 171 would be before i started it.

oh and econ...well i hope i sit near someone smart, like seriously!

back in my day (which was more than 365), the lecturer put up an overhead saying that heaps of people failed the subject and that if you weren't an actuary you shouldn't do. within two weeks at least 25% of the people disappeared. funny that.

i hope i sit next to someone smart as well, whose willing to write my name and student no. on their essays

so should we do 270? it does exist right?

 

[flyin']

well, tbh i dun think anyone in their right mind would do more stat than they need to

i htink i know someone doing stat273 atm if that exists

 

[*hopeful*]

my tutor told me im only allowed 3 hrs of sleep every day if i wanna catch up in everything
so yeh im excited

 

[scarecrow_of_oz]

we do get some answers in tutes and stuff though i missed alot of last weeks (couldn't see the damn board even from front row, getting my glasses made stronger) and my friends haven't shown up for class in over a month
i tried that sitting next to a smart person for the maths test though no opportune time for cheating plus my attempt at mooching his smart brain waves didn't seem to work feel free to try your luck though flyin'

my tutor told me to study 3 hrs every day to catch up on everything (by next year =p)!

since you have already experienced it

what about stat in the gym? is that one or many rooms? do you sit alphabetically or due to student number? (on that note, is student number worked out alphabetically or by course or something?)

 

[~ForAGoodCause~]

i dont like the gym... its like one big hall, or bball court with stacks of people in it.
I think you sit alphabetically...

so i wonder who i will be near.. i don't know anyone with a very close name to me

 

[flyin']

it's by student no. and student no. are based on year of entry into uni., name/course/school etc.

 

[*hopeful*]

u get a seat number 4 each exam
