Re: Your desk
Ad, why do you have the Quadratic formula and the Cosine rule stuck onto the wall?

Re: Your desk
It's often used to find the value of the variable in quadratics, of course, not all quadratics have a real if (b^2 - 4ac) is negative, then you dive into the realm of complex numbers.Master4lyf1 wrote:Ad, why do you have the Quadratic formula and the Cosine rule stuck onto the wall?

When I was learning them in Math class a couple years ago, I stuck them onto my wall to help me remember. I've never since taken them down, and I don't think I will anytime soon. For some reason they seem to add a bit of an odd style to the setup.Master4lyf1 wrote:Ad, why do you have the Quadratic formula and the Cosine rule stuck onto the wall?

Re: Your desk
Those formulae have been pounded into me since I was 13, I can pretty much say them off by heart.

Re: Your desk
Hm, we didn't learn trigonometry or quadratics until we were fifteen/in grade ten. Them curricular differences.
Re: Your desk
Oh wow, the quadratic formula. I remember the day the Math teacher teached this to us. My classmates thought they would never be able to memorize it. This was back in the 9th grade, about 6 years ago.

Re: Your desk
Looks logical, our formulars look a litte different. That's why it confiused me
. Anyway we're now identify the tanget of a "power function" (<- google translated. Ger:"Potenzfunktion) . Makes even more fun

Re: Your desk
@Ad: So, if I were taught in your place, I'd have just encountered Trig and Quadratics last year? Interesting differences.

Re: Your desk
Yep. But then again, schooling in the UK only goes up to year 11, whereas in North America it goes until grade twelve before college/University ('grade' and 'year' are virtually interchangeable in most cases). At least, I believe that's how it works over there.Master4lyf1 wrote:So, if I were taught in your place, I'd have just encountered Trig and Quadratics last year? Interesting differences.

Re: Your desk
So for comparison, it would seem I'm in the equivalent of 11th Grade, Year 12.
