Request thread for guides

[TrueTears]

So recently I've been getting alot of request for writing different guides on tricky parts of the Methods course or any mathematical ideas in general. A guide to solving inequalities will be posted very soon tonight, so if you guys want to request any other guides written, just post here and I'll be glad to do them!

Do one on cones and pyramids please

Do one on cones and pyramids please

LOL to prevent future evilness from VCAA

haha but in all seriousness do you actually want one on them? LOL what do you want to know about them?

LMAO

Normal distribution?

Also, off-topic: would you happen to have any difficult/challenging questions for differentiation? (chain rule, quotient etc)

[98.40_for_sure]

Some interesting stuff. Things that one would not find in a textbook.

How to be pr0 like TT.

Obviously not a personal request, but I think a guide on the foundations of transformations would be useful. Schools only teach transformations one graph at a time and teach a 'general form' which is stupid. I found it much better just learning the shape of the base graph, and then applying all the general rules of transformations on top of that.

haha well it won't do me any good now but the course really barely touches on those sorts of questions... I recall maybe one page for finding the function of a triangle and using similar triangles for rates of change. It's quite a vast topic so maybe some yr 12ers can specify need

are you doing spesh guides simo?

Oh yes this! Great idea shinny, will definitely get one up.

Normal distribution is a good topic too, I'll write one about it

Yeah well anything mathematically based, if you want something on it then just let me know!

I think the application of geometric principles in calculus would help future students alot.
