[table for 1]

hey, to everyone completing their HSC in '05, where are you up to in maths ext 1? i think my school is really behind, and i'm worried that they'll try to rush everything in the end. just wondering if my school is actually behind, and by how much

thanks for replying =]

 

[Trev]

the topics we've done already r geometry, geo metric applications of calc., series and sequences, we're on time our teacher sed

 

[FinalFantasy]

lol there is a very silly and not very clever or learned 3unit maths teacher in my school, and all we've done in ext. 1 so far is second derivatives and probability lol.
No need to worry, just learn da other topics by urself if your class doesn't teach fast.

my class is way ahead in 3u n we will finish next term so i wont scare u... but i have done all the 2u work when i accell in 2u maths, that is realy y we are ahead. also we have a great teacher n a bright class D)

 

[FinalFantasy]

damn our 2\3unit teacher doesn't really know what she's doing..
and our 4unit teacher is not very good either lol

 

[Numero Uno]

meh we are starting integration ...

 

[Sphyx]

hmmm we did extended induction, and now we are doing circle geo.
we also did binomial expansion right at the beginning of year 11, because apparently its the hardest topic, and people get freaked out by it cos most schools teach it right before the HSC, so instead we got it taught right at the beginning of year 11, and all we have to do is revise it. dont ask me the logic in that.

If you wan't something difficult in 3u you would do perms/combs (apparently that's hard for most students) or circle geo first...

curve sketching (second derivitive)

 

[JamiL]

wow second derivitive i learnt that at the end off yr 10... wow uz are behind. ull learn how 2 do trig differencitation, experdential, log and inverse trig. they get a lil harder but they are still easy

wah... i seriously think my school/class is behind. i think we're actually still only doing yr 11 stuff - locus of parabolas? we are so behind.... gosh...i totally have to study ahead by myself, but as if i would be able to concentrate

We didn't do locus until year 12...

really. but did you learn the topics in order, or skipped around the place?

 

[meLoncoLLie]

doesn't each school choose to do different topics in different order? we did perms and combs first thing in yr 11, (the purpose was to eliminate people who shouldn't be in 3u =S), and then circle geo.

Basically what the 3u's did was learn most of the 2u HSC course in year 11, and then they did the parts exclusive to 3u in year 12.

yeh exactly the same at my school. it worked really well too. half the class dropped out within two weeks.

 

[JamiL]

well, locus is a yr 12 2u topic, most 3u students should have done it. we got to finish yr 12 intergration(ie substituion), binomial therum, perms n combs, inverse trig n Physical world.
5 topics take us a term or so, cos physical world is huge

 

[Slidey]

My school's behind.

By how much I no longer know. But we do need to hurry up.

hahahah. "worked really well"

 

[JamiL]

nah see in my year, the other 3u class has about 20 ppl in it with prob 8ppl capable of doin well, n mabey 3-4 band 6 students. that is slowing them down hard
