@MikeMiller Well there is lots of mechanics and statistics to still learn at school. But I reckon I could do all the pure exams this year. It is just calculus essentially.
@Venus Perhaps, perhaps not. It might be the best for him if he doesn't, so that he can focus on his studies and getting well; I think that's what he wanted to do.
@Alizter Ah, I know there's nothing left for you to learn about math in high school. I was just wondering whether there will be anything left for you in undergrad :)
@Venus Its not about smartness. At the end of the day, if he cannot take time to improve the quality of his communication even after being told so, he is not a good mathematician.
Even Balarka eventually explains if you prompt him enough

Really basic geometry like defining distances, angles, isometries, congruences like the basic SAS, ASA and SSS. Sorry for the late reply, @Alizter. My net died again. ^_^ Haha, you're a psychic!
Once a week. I rarely have questions for him because I'd have spent the whole Sunday night/Monday morning doing the Analysis due for 9 am on Monday morning. ;P
Honestly, if you're applying for math (I can't really say for other subjects) being a prefect won't hurt your application (obviously) but it doesn't really help much either. It's just something the admissions tutors will glance over and not really take into consideration. On the other hand, doing something extracurricular that's related to math will help!
Nope, I'm pretty sure people from the math department deal with all of that stuff. I've heard that if your predicted grades are good, then you're pretty much guaranteed to get an offer as STEP sifts out a lot of people, @Alizter.
It is indeed, @MikeMiller. Such a beautiful campus. ^_^
It sucks. Most schools have a health center where you can get care for things like a cold or flu for free, but no emergency care.
As a graduate student part of my benefits is good health insurance, which I'm grateful for. But when you don't have something like that it's usually pricey.
Here's a math question related to my current ill state: "I'm running a fever of 38.61 degrees Celcius. If my body temperature 24 hours ago was the average human body temperature (37 degrees C), solve for $x$ in terms of $\theta$."
I wonder who I would nominate for moderator. I would nominate the user formerly known as Raff, but I think he's probably more effective as a regular user.
