Variations in maths problems replied by wee_ws @ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:14:17 +0800

wee_ws — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:14:17 +0800

Hi,

As the learner goes through the variations, he/she has to consider whether:

1. the algebraic approach should be used,

2. the graphical approach should be used,

3. the arbitrary variable affects any of the above two approaches.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Hi Lee012lee,

Thank you for the clarification and sharing. I initially thought that a PhD in Medicine is offered in NUS as it is stated here that Graduate students will graduate with a MSc or a PhD degree:

Hi smile.forever,

Subjects such as Economics and Knowledge & Inquiry are seemingly tilted more towards the Arts Side, and are usually listed as Arts subjects, but they can be used as a contrast subject for Arts students.

You'll kill yourself studying economics the arts way, because it is a science.

Hi Audi,

Do allow me to share with you some information about Junior Colleges. Subjects are separated into H1, H2, and H3 levels, with the first being the easiest and the last being the toughest.

Subjects can be grouped into Science or Arts subjects, with economics being an exception, as it can be taken as both a Science and a Arts subject.

Some Junior Colleges do allow a student to take two Science subjects along with two Arts subject, but generally speaking, all students are expected to have a contrasting subject. For example, if you take three subjects from the Science side, you must have a subject from the Arts side.

ACJC students who take up the IB programme has a very different curriculum though, which you can read more about from here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IB_Diploma_Programme

The subjects taught in JCs are roughly the same as those in Secondary School, though there are some special subjects, especially those offered by VJC, which are unique to the post-secondary level.

Cheers.

All the talk about PRC scholars remind me of my classmate in NUS. He was born and bred in China. He had arrived earlier with his parents and attended JC and did well. Unlike the PRC scholars, he spoke decent English and he had no problem mingling with Singaporeans. In fact, he prefers to hangout with us than those fresh from China, even though he is very brilliant and very driven, and that made him more like the PRC scholars than the Singaporean slackers (like me). In fact, he was so brilliant he was the “go to” guy for PRC scholars who needed help with school work.

And, even though he is strictly speaking a first generation PR, he served National Service.

An exemplary foreign talent, don’t you think? A model new citizen? And for all the hard work he put in, what did Singapore offer him? Well, Singapore offered to screw him.

Since he was not recruited via “rigorous interviews” held in China, he was not entitled to apply for the PRC scholarship, even though he proved himself worthy by aceing the “A” levels. This is not the case, for example, for ASEAN scholarships. Irregardless of the route you took to enter NUS, as long as you are a non-Singaporean citizen of ASEAN, you can apply for the ASEAN scholarship.

And either because his Singapore citizenship did not arrive fast enough, or because some scholarship boards referred him to the PRC scholarships, he did not manage to get any scholarship at all. I had trouble knowing the details because he was always eye-bulging mad when he talked about it.

This is the stark reality of Singapore. Be a non-committal tourist like Zhang Yuan Yuan and enjoy the best of both worlds, or embrace Singapore and get screwed, like my friend.

He was incredibly bitter about his situation throughout his four years in NUS, and immediately upon graduation, found a great job in US and never returned since.

So, what is the lesson learnt here? Don’t be stupid and serve NS, since Singapore will not appreciate it? The biggest benefit of the Singapore citizenship, ironically, is that it allows you to find a job and migrate to developed countries easily?

Honestly, I cannot help but feel that our whole foreign talent policies are being run by people who are not thinking very far.

Variations in maths problems replied by wee_ws @ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:51:53 +0800

wee_ws — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:51:53 +0800

Hi,

Consider this past-year question on the topic of inequalities:

Solve exactly, |2x - 3| < |x +1|.

If one makes a small change, the problem solving approach to the new problem will vary and other concepts/skills are likely to be applied as well.

Let's see the kinds of variation that are possible:

1. |2x - 3| < x + 1.

2. |2x - 3| < |x| + 1.

3. 2|x| - 3 < |x + 1|.

4. 2|x| - 3 < |x| + 1.

5. |ax - 3| < |x + 1| where a > 0.

6. |ax - 3| < |x + 1| where a < 0.

7. |2x - a| < |x + 1| where a > 0.

8. |2x - a| < |x + 1| where a < 0.

9. |2x - 3| < |x + a| where a > 0.

10. |2x - 3| < |x + a| where a < 0.

11. 2x - 3 < |x + 1|, etc...

With these modifications, one is able to learn deeply and he/she then begins to "think about thinking". Most practical of all, the student will never run out of questions to practise :)

Thanks!

Cheers,
Wen Shih
