canceling fractions

[/0]

For fractions like , do you generally have to put . Could you lose marks if you didn't do that? The textbooks often seem to be a bit ambiguous with stuff like this, thanks.

yeah, you really should. the function is discontinuous at but is equal to everywhere else, and it's important that you specify that, because in some cases when you're trying to find solutions to an equation of something, cancelling those factors may also eliminate a solution to the equation, if you're not careful about it.

philosophy i'd guess?
metaphysics, epistemology, ethics?

I dunno, I thought it was just an advanced degree in an area of choice which has a cool name.

correct.

basically like a normal science degree, only you have to maintain an HD average, which is a bitch. the best bit though are the ASCs, or Advanced Studies Courses - basically mini research topics that you do.

the reason why it's called PhB is to emphasise its similarity to a PhD; that is, it's a research degree. but there's no philosophy actually involved...
