    USYD Combined Medicine Interviews

    I got a call from USYD on Tuesday morning to inform me that I'm being invited to an interview for MBBS/B Sc (Adv). Anyone else? To be honest I wasn't expecting interview offers to be released this early because the USYD website says "The Dean of the Faculty of Medicine will select applicants...

    gaseous forms of oxygen & the oxygen free radical

    Syllabus 9.4 4K7: Compare the properties of gaseous forms of oxygen and the oxygen free radical. I don't suppose it's possible to compare these in terms of melting/boiling points, solubility, density, etc. which can be done between allotropes of oxygen. So what other properties are there to...

    Cambridge Poly p.136 Q10(a)

    Poly: Cambridge p.136 Q10(a) Show that cos(5@) = 16(cos@)^5 - 20(cos@)^3 + 5(cos@) Hence solve P(x) = 16x^5 - 20x^3 + 5x - 1 = 0 & Deduce the exact values of cos(2pi/5) and cos(4pi/5) I've done similar deductions with nice quartics where the quadratic formula would be sufficient to work...

    Square roots & oblique asymptotes

    I'm just a bit curious.. For f(x) which has an oblique asymptote of A(x), does the asymptote of g(x) = SQRT[f(x)] become SQRT[A(x)]? Provided, of course, that as x->infinity f(x)>0 & A(x)>0. I had this discussion with my maths teacher and she was very dismissive, yet offered not explanation...

    Which Ext-2 topics have you done?

    I notice a lot of questions on conics and polynomials being asked around here so I'm assuming some school are currently doing these topics, which makes me a bit concerned about the rate at which my school is teaching the course, despite our teacher's constant reassurances. I've also heard from...

    Induction Involving Trigonometric Terms

    A friend of mine recently showed me some questions she got from her tutoring college on proof by mathematical induction that involved trigonometric terms. I've never seen this type of questions before in any of my text books (Cambridge & Margret Grove, both Yrs 11 & 12) but according to my...
