A memorial service was held for Olivia Newton-John today. How many of you are aware that her maternal grandfather was the Nobel Prize winning physicist, Max Born?

I have in my possession a complete? set of old Prior Education HSC Physics course notes (including regular Tests)- maybe around 15 - 20 year-old. They come in 8 folders. It'd be a pity to throw them away. Whatever the age, most of the contents are still current. The physics of 20 years ago is...

Someone asked me how to do: \int sin\sqrt{2x}dx

Congratulations Al-Faisal College, Alpha Omega Senior College, Al Noori Muslim School for your outstanding performance in this year's HSC Maths. I'm not aware if Al-Faisal is even selective. But James Ruse, each year has the cream of the cream of NSW students. Understandably it has been overall...

Over the last 40 years or so, geometry has not received as much attention as they used to. Many questions on complex numbers are better approached by geometry (easier, shorter, visually-clearer, neater solutions). So if you want to do well in complex numbers, make sure you have a good foundation...

Just saw a report in a local paper headlined: "Claims rich rule selective school", in this particular case referring To James Ruse. I have read many reports over the years that claim that the selective schools favour the rich and many want to do away with selective schools altogether or at least...

Just wondering if any Asian (that includes Indians, Sri Lankans, ...) last few years have been accepted into the Medical course at UNSW with an ATAR below 99.4?

Anyone interested in an almost-unused printer? I'm giving it away.

The new syllabus will be offered from 2019 onwards. Many of you, (esp azn & south azn students) have the annoying practice of learning the course a year or two ahead. If you are one of them, I can help you on a one-on-one basis. Why would you even consider me? I'm neither rich, nor handsome...

Daniel Hu of Sydney Boys High who achieved an ATAR of 99.85 is an inspiring story, coming as he does from a background of extreme disadvantage.

Now is the time some of you have just covered Mechanics in your MX2 course, are in the midst of it or will be doing so soon. Many of you will find it an easy topic - you are the lucky ones. There are also many who will find it hard. This may be because you lack the essential background or you...

\ddot {x} = \frac {dv}{dt} = \frac {P-mkv}{m} \\ \\ \therefore \frac {m dv}{P - mkv} = dt \Rightarrow \int \frac {mdv}{P - mkv} = \int dt \Rightarrow t = -\frac {1}{k} \ln (P - mkv) + C \\ \\ \therefore t_1 = -\frac {1}{k} \ln (P - 2mk) + C $ and $ t_2 = - \frac {1}{k}(P - 4mk) + C \\...

Most of you are not familiar with the IB. It is a very rigorous and chalenging course. If you obtain 45 marks, it is the perfect score - and is given the ATAR of 99.95. I have recently become aware of the amazing achievements of little Singapore in the IB exams. In the latest results just...

Hey dude By the way: I've been telling people not to bother to do Engineering if they are doing only General Maths. People have been telling such people that the unis offer Summer School as well as bridging course; so they should be able to pursue Engineering without higher level Maths in...

I tutor at my students' home. This year I have 4 new students. 3 weeks ago, on the same day, 2 of them gave me the go ahead. Both of them lived at No 10. Then a few days ago, I got a new student, and , guess what? No 10 again. So, yesterday, I decided to ask my remaining student his house...

Someone posted the following question: 5 dice are rolled. Find the: a) Prob(getting 5 '6') b) Prob(getting no '6') c) Prob(at least 1 '6') This is a very basic probability question and, being a 2U question, I'll post a 2U solution. My previous post disapppeared and I'm re-posting for the...
