    Anybody who's doing applied maths, when you're doing projections or whatever they're called, do you write r (position) in the i and j plane at the start of the question. As in (ucosA*t)i + (usinA*t-0.5gt^2)j if it was a projection from horizontal plane.

    I saw it on the old marking schemes so picked it up as a habit but I've just realised we never did it over the two years, and I'm not sure if it's on the newer marking schemes. I'd ask on the applied maths thread but there's more activity here ;)

    Nah, I keep the old i and j (although I use x and y tbh for Projectiles) separate.

    Also all these Applied Maths questions are getting boring :( I wish the newer papers were as easy as the old ones, there were full questions in the 80s you'd get done in 10 minutes :(

    It's not even that much of a lie! All the tower blocks were made in the 60s because the council or whoever it was just decided there were too many derelict buildings and a fúck ton of crime in the inner city so they fúcked them out and sent them to Ballymun! :p

    What are you meant to do when the exams are over? :confused: I've walked the dog, watched the telly, read a bit, played some FIFA, texted some friends, go on here (obviously :rolleyes:) and drank about 3 cups of tea, and I'm bored at twenty to four. What on earth am I meant to do for 3 months!? :eek:

    What do you mean? Eat, read, watch TV and sleep. That's the life!

    Nah. And I use xy for projectiles.

    I just saw it now. I'm not impressed either, MacBitch.

    I was in Ballymun as you wrote that, ODH. Lovely little place :p

    I may have only gone to the library.

    Most people would disagree with that..

    Besides, the flats are gone(except one, I think?) and the times have changed.

    I think we had the same Geography book... Is that the one that says Ballymun has 140 "Irish speaking houses" because we're establishing our own Gaeltacht? :pac: :pac:

    I think it might have been, we just got a load of sheets off our teacher for that section so I don't know the name :p

    Ballymun has a Gaeltacht? :pac:

    I like that library but it's too far away for me.

    I was looking for a book in the Finglas one, they told me Ballymun had it so I trekked across the whole length of Glasnevin Avenue in the sun, fianlly got there and..someone checked it out this morning :(

    So I got 1984 again, just to piss off hotmale :D

    Ag science shall be a disaster....

    Marking schemes will get you no matter what.

    Why do people think this is an easy subject?

    I think the writers of the books think Gaelscoil = nest of Gaeilgeoirs = Gaeltacht

    Ah, "easy" subjects aren't easy to get an A1 in, they're relatively easy to get a C3 in.

    I'd probably find it harder to get an A in Geography than Physics with the sane work like.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


    My maths is fairly shocking so excuse my ignorance.

    I am trying to work out how many marks I need to pass Ag Science. The project is worth 25% which equates to 100 marks and the written paper is 75% which equates to 300 marks. I want to play it safe so presuming I got 10% out of 25% in my project (hopefully i got a lot more than this in the project) how many marks would I need to get in the written paper to pass overall?
