What extra stuff should we learn for 4 unit (2 Viewers)

[kenkap]

i was doing this mechanics question and they had kepler's law in it!

 

[Alkanes]

Man what are all these uni maths stuff. Never heard in my life. Could someone please explain so I don't get screwed if they ask.

You'll never have to use that for 3U.

Twisted K-theory

4u then

Whichever it is.

Learn them!

I think OP is asking for things that might help him that isn't in the syllabus.

 

[unLimitieDx]

So many un-heard terms

 

[LoveHateSchool]

Uhm, Parametric differentiation is 2U...

As a 2u-er, what is parametric differentiation? Dunno what the words means but hoping I know it if it's in the syllabus.

 

[hscwav2012]

are these q16 question types?

You may know the 'Weierstrass substitution' better as: "the t-substitution", i.e.

So far basics imo some easy stuff, just learn how to derive stuff like Euler's equation and the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality, which will help you pick up those marks you were missing earlier. I would strongly then recommend studying the Poincaré conjecture as well as the Riemann hypothesis. Understanding these will ensure you ace 4u and hold you in good stead for the Q7s and Q8s and uni, and beyond

Btw it's my belief that all kids in selective schools learn these (we do, not sure about all of them), so if you don't go to one chances are you haven't heard of these and that's the reason you're doing so poorly in 4u.

But really these aren't a necessity. The whole point of 4u or one of the points is to let you attempt to apply your knowledge on unfamiliar situations

Actually I take that back you don't need to know it unless the chain rule is in the 2U course sorry brain dead atm

Your bolded part is very very questionable.... please Pm after your results come up for 4 unit....

If anything selective kids (not all but it looks like your school does) treat maths like english... they memorise these stupid things and than like english paste what they saw into exam...... (i think i validate myself by your statement "we do, not sure if all of them")
we "other" kids infact dont know about these conjectures.... but mate the thing is WE DONT NEED TO KNOW THEM..... WE APPLY OUR KNOWLEDGE FROM WHAT WE HAVE BEEN LEARNT IN THE CORES AND APPLY IT TO NEW CIRCUMSTANCES

^someone doesn't like selective schools

also i go to a selective school and the teachers haven't taught us anything outside of the syllabus and barely taught us what was in it.

quick questions though, are we allowed to use cis form in complex numbers? i don't think we are, and i personally wouldn't, but a friend has asked...

05 paper q7b :O

 

[braintic]

Alexobern:

1. Of course you are allowed to write cis. Why would you believe you could not?
2. Out of interest, which selective school is this?

 

[alexobern]

manly, and i recall the teacher saying not to use cis form as it wasn't in the syllabus
