We should have a Integration Bee in the next VN meet up.

[TrueTears]

Man we should have tag team to make it more balanced since year 12s+first years have the biggest advantage (admit it, integration is your best friend)
Us old kents would have to brush up on the basics

yesterday i was helping someone out on vn and i had to google "integral arctan"

Imagine having brightsky and kamil on a team, GFG.

Nah, not med, med students will have year 12 maths, that's all, you don't do maths in med

How about med students verse Specialist Maths kids or First year maths?

They might be kids that are doing biomedicine with a concurrent degree in Pure mathematics, so I am a bit aware of it.

Any ideas though ?

I can't even differentiate anymore, not to mention integrate... It's amazing how quickly you forget things after you stop using them. Then again, it'll probably come back quickly if I went to revise it I guess.

Well they say you never forget how to ride a bike

But yeh after a bit of practice it should all come back to everyone.

A study score isn't an indication of how well one can integrate, why don't we keep it at a spesh level, say, cause then even the uni kids won't have an advantage over a good year 12 kid

Yes, Study score is not an indication. The uni students will easily look through the spesh question likes its nothing seriously, I think Uni students need harder maths questions or something thats in their standard levels. Perhaps, Green or Gauss theorem. Possibly double and triple integration would be great.

Mabes, Fourier Series

Alright then, I'll make sure that I'll do Maths throughout and that I'll be able to compete with the 1st year uni kids

but im still a fan of one division, like even now after finishing year 12, I am not moecessarily better than the very best year 10 kids in year 10 Maths, say

...what the hell is this?  I don't even...

Okay to be fair, someone needs to organize a poetry competition student for arts/law/humanities students.

Or an irrational debate on Shakespearean trilogies and stories.

EDIT: Goodnight AN.

[nacho]

okay it took me 3 hours, but i did the question
one of you legends please provide me with solutions
whoever does gets a nod of gratitude and my well wishes

This is what I've got for that question I put up.



let



Let




There is probably an easier way to do it? Someone check if they feel like it. Also there may be small mistakes in typing it up or just the setting out so could someone check for me too?

omg i was so close! XD
thank you for upping solutions
i know you will make it into NASA
/nod of gratitude

[Seems madam?]

Haha. Hey, it's only irrational when you bring in Queer Theory/Psychoanalysis. Besides, the maths world needs the english world as much as the english world needs it - we wouldn't have the amazing world we live in without such a great balance. And hey, guess what, that idea of balance - between the reason of science/maths, and the passion of human struggle/spontaneity - Shakespeare came up with it (I'm defending a guy who inspires me, can you blame me? haha.)

As an applied maths / physical science major, I'm more interested in numerical approximations and computational methods. Anything doable by someone in a few minutes to me is a "quick Mathematica script", anything that requires more analysis falls into "do a first order expansion and vary the parameters".

But to make things more interesting, I suggest adding differential equations and number theory to the integration-off competition.

[taiga]

This is so damn lame....


I'm in.

[Fishyiscool]

.... seriously?
and i gave up schoolies for this

If you spesh kids don't feel like your ready to do the integration Bee, thats alright, if they are not much spesh kids, than i guess its best to postpone till the end of the year. Might still get the 'Uni maths student integration bee' going, wouldn't be fair for them to wait for the fun.

Spesh kids... Meh I'm prob the only one on here who is taken aback by this kind of thing ... I'm sure people like Gossamer would gladly take part

[abd123]

Hmmm.

Alright for Spesh kids, Med students, possibly commerce (some majors), science (if not physical science) and arts (depending on what your major and minority is)

-Trigonometric Integration
-Any sort of Integration, etc blah blah blah
-Integration by recognition
-Differential Equations


For Uni Students e.g. Engineering, Science (most likely physical science, including Biomedicine ), Commerce,  years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or completed

-Double/Triple Integration
-Laplace Transformation- 3 year +
-Fouriers Series- 3 year +
-Gauss Theorem
-Greens Theorem

Any more inputs? Don't hesitate to ask me to take off whats needed or whats needed

[paulsterio]

hmm, laplace transformations, fourier series...etc. might not have been done in 1st year

[abd123]

hmm, laplace transformations, fourier series...etc. might not have been done in 1st year

Of course, it will seperated, how would first year uni maths would be like though?

would it be double/triple integration than?, possibly vector calculus regarding to anything that associates with integral calculus?

What would first uni maths year would be like ?
