    @ Stig:

    Thanks for the working LegioXXXUlpiaVictrix, I know exactly what I did wrong now. When integrating I divided the constant and the index wrongly. ()

    I take it you do this stuff at Uni then? I've got to do it at school, quite irritating really. And questions like these are pretty common in our assessments. The hardest one I've ever got was:

    A hemispherical bowl of radius a units is filled with water to a depth of a/2 units. Find, by integration, the volume of the water.

    The teacher couldn't even do it, I'm proud to say that it took me under 5 minutes to do it.

    This thread is enough to fry my dyslexic brain into oblivion...

    I am glad I'm not studying what Rythmic is, in my day it was:

    "A man has five camels, he trades two of these for another man's 45 year old spinster sister, besides being totally ripped off, how many camels does he have left?"

    4 if you count the sister


    Credit is what you get for doing work. Like in the definition of the word

    Yep, thanks, I got quite what I wanted; I can pretty much walk into whatever physics/maths uni in Finland

    Good luck with your last days, enjoy them
    But strangely satisfying if you get it right.
    That's true. The wonders of maths...

    Naw, I'm just about to graduate from the Finnish equivalent of high school; finished my matriculation exams this March and I'm hoping for a sizeable scholarship for a full 60/60 score from maths

    The bowl assignment doesn't sound that difficult.I'm just screwing something obvious up right now with it. Gah. Lack of routine is not your friend

    I'm a high-school student. What's credit?
    I don't know, it's American and probably something about getting bonus points from doing some voluntary and/or hard assignments.
