Induction is quite fun in my opinion lol. Except when i can't do the question because i can't think simply and logically. And I agree with SoulSearcher, I dispise probability very much very much... Is this when you Do Perms and Coms or just Probability?

Induction is in the Series unit for extenioners.

Had my mathematics exam on Wednesday. I think i killed it, heehee, but I think sir bodged up some of the questions. Aiming for top 3.
Extension mathematics exam is on the last friday of term. Yay =) I've got PDHPE on monday. =(

Lol sorry. Um... Proving statements/formulas that include a positive integer.

Eg. Prove that the sum of the first n +'ve integers 1 + @ + 3 + ... + n is given by the formula

Sn = n(n + 1) / 2

I agree. Though combination isn't as bad as permutations.

Actually, the only thing I hate more is any curve sketching.

*cheers* Yay! Someone else apart from me hates sketching graphs.

My year has been basically filled with function sketching and frankly, if I have to draw one more graph with more than one asymptote I think I'll snap and kill my math teacher.

EDIT: I'd take induction over curve sketching anyday.

Someone agrees, yay. Are you subjected to people making shitty jokes about "ASS-ymptotes" all the time? Cause I am and I'm totally sick of it. :p
