Are they telling you via devices that work because of our understanding of Electromagnetism & Quantum Mechanics?

It's well known you can't bring bags into the exam room. The info is on this link https://iexams.mq.edu.au/timetable and it is listed on the information section of your personal timetable. I'm wondering how you even found your room and seat if you miss this kind of info? Rant denied...

^ good objective observations. If you do feel yourself sinking in Adv classes, you have the HECs date and then the Academic penalty date to decide whether to drop. If capitalism has treated you kindly try sticking it out till the academic date to give yourself the best chance of evaluating your...

Its relativistic, you need to include a gamma factor in this calculation.

To see the "displacement under the curve" explicitly you can observe \frac{dv}{dt}=-2 integrating wrt t v(t)=-2t+v_0 \ \ v(t)=-2t+8 integrating wrt t x(t)=-t^2+8t+x_0 \ \ x(t)=-t^2+8t+2 You can see from the graph that maximum displacement must occur when velocity changes sign (direction)...

Considering Epping road is already chockers at the times you want to arrive or leave Uni, I just don't see how the buses are gonna sail through in any reasonable time; Tuesday morning will be interesting.

Just a note to this; a little elementary Chem can really help your Phys/Astro studies later on. You will hear about electron filling patterns long before a Physics lecturer will get you to agonize over an atom other than Hydrogen. Re Astro; an appreciation of ions, molecules etc will just add a...

"Is the department REALLY that bad?" The lecturing quality varies significantly. That said, I have a person in mind who would be absolutely the worst communicator i've encountered at MQ, and yet I know other students who really liked this same lecturer (there would be some variable of easy...

Study Physics! I'm amazed at the amount of people walking universities not studying Physics, what the hell are you doing? The Universe is completely fascinating. Yes its a little tough on the math side of the brain, but very rewarding - and if someone else can understand it, so can you!

Yep you can, just click on the echo or whatever link is in iLearn just before its about to go 'live' - or anytime while lecture in progress.

Put a slight dent in my GPA (1C, 3D, 1HD) - again, let me recommend that students should think very carefully before adding a 5th Unit to a semester; not so much for grades, because grades are often just massaging an ego, but I found my actual understanding (+enjoyment) of concepts suffering...

When I was in 1st year I got results at 9am - I imagine they stagger the emails so as to cope with the deluge of incoming calls/enquiries that follow, but yeah, who knows how they choose the break up?

The ranking system/ atar competition really sucks the enjoyment out of education. If you can just stay philosophical about grades and enjoy what you're learning each day the pathways will open.. easier said than done of course!

Apparently you should draw pretty lines around your tables. But is def not an important aspect of 'scientific understanding'. m is certainly a useful algebraic symbol for a gradient, although others are used; I certainly would try to emphasize your actual understanding to your teachers (& if...

phl 137 was easily the unit with the least amount of workload i've done - its still an interesting unit though, so a win/win :smile:

I got some free advice for future students : don't ask to do an extra unit based on your past performance. I got 5 finals coming up and the workload is stressing; its been the first time since 1st yr i'm anxious about exams instead of enjoying the content. And in the end, its made me decide to...

Time is on your side guys - I'm a 3rd yr Phys student and I took a pathway course to get here (never finished school). Try and study what interests you; don't imagine your world will end if you get some bad results. Exams are blunt instruments, and coupled with high workload its easy to forget...

They don't seem mention that these 110 extra buses will be on the carpark we call Epping Rd ?

A bit of a random Q: Anyone know where [or if] the ANZ ATM is now? Used to be in the Hub (RIP)....

http://sydney.edu.au/science/physics/future/faq.shtml#5 ^ advice from USyd At MQ, where I am undergrad in Phys, HSC Physics was NOT assumed but Ext Math knowledge is (some basic calculus, algebra is all you need to get going though). If you're sure Physics will be part of your future get...
