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

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.

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.

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

Hm, we didn't learn trigonometry or quadratics until we were fifteen/in grade ten. Them curricular differences.

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.

Looks logical, our formulars look a litte different. That's why it confiused me :oops2: . Anyway we're now identify the tanget of a "power function" (<- google translated. Ger:"Potenzfunktion) . Makes even more fun :mryellow:

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

Meh, like I said, they're ingrained into my head, I know 'em off by heart.

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.

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