Higher Prelim Revision Sheet 3
Published November 22nd, 2006 in 5M1, Higher, Prelims, homeworkJust when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. Here’s 3. Not as much fun as sheet 2 in my eyes but equally satisfying I’m sure you’ll agree. You know the score now. Give help when you can, ask for help when you can’t.

Sheet 2 was fun?! I mean, yes of course it was…
Thanks for the extra sheet.
If it gives you brain-ache I reckon it can only be fun Finlay. Glad you enjoyed it as well
Physics is better than maths !
But surely Physics is just Mathematics Mr Langlands. How can it be better than what it is?
Which came first Maths or Physics? As both are so simlar they discuss similar topics surely which ever was first created is the superior, as the other is simply copying.
Now Samuel. We know that Maths is…
People trying to explain physical things they saw try to explain it with numbers and calculations which really sounds more like physics (calculations on things that happen around us) whereas maths must be later a branch or continuation of explaining.
“physical things they see,” even
Hmm, physics stops me from jumping way up high and slapping Donald’s massive forehead back from whence it came (wherever that may be, it’s still being debated upon)
So I’m siding with Stebbing.
As good an argument as any
Thanks for siding with me Fraser. I’ve created a new post for this debate to continue on. Which came first? Physics or Mathematics? Hopefully it will allow people to ask for help on Higher homework 3 here, but doesn’t stop the very serious issues you guys are discussing. I hope you feel that this is an appropriate solution.
hi, i was just wondering for q2 does find the points where it meets the coordinate axes. mean find where it meets the y axis?
Hello pixie. ye .. it means find the co-ordinates where it meets both the x and the y axes. sj
oh ta very much Steve-O.
Im siding with Mr Stebbing on this one as physics can also be described as “applied mathematics” however i am firmly on the fence over which of the 2 is better.
By the way to anybody else thinking about joining in this debate the fence is a very nice fence and a good place to be when this kind of thing happens. We all know what happened to mr baines after his argument with mrs bloomfeild about wether physics was better than biology.
You know how we were discussing in class how late people work, well ive got another quote (yes i have plenty more where that came from!)here it is:
A mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems.
—Alfréd Rényi
cool eh?
Oh Callum. I’m a little disappointed that you sitting on the fence on whether Maths is better than Physics. However I’m not really saying Maths is better than physics. I’m saying that physics is just a small part of maths. Maths is the bigger picture. Maths is…….
Onto the other blog for this debate now.
I do like the coffee into theormes quote Callum. You don’t know how true it really is
Anyone looking for help with their Maths revision?
In question 3 it says
Calculate the least cost of laying and operating the pipe and the corresponding radius of the pipe.
wouldnt it be better english to say
Calculate the lowest cost of laying and operating the pipe and the corresponding radius of the pipe.
Some maths questions do tend to have, shall we say “interesting” grammar.
Probably Callum but I didn’t write the question. If you understand how to change the grammatical errors hopefully you’ll understand how to do the question
I am Really Stuck On Maths revison i got ma mocks nd gcses soon and i dont think i will do very well n e one gt any websites??
