Pls Mr GoldenDr

When you write on a public forum and not sending personal texts, try and write normally. I see you are already addicted to writing in short forms which isn't too good, same thing goes for all your threads. You never can tell who is watching; a prospective employer may be viewing this thread as well.cheers!

GoldenDr:
Thank you. I like to see more of you.

Okay sir, will always check in anytime I am free to add my quota.

STENON:
Goodmorning, Yes I'm doing great.
So you'r now teaching? That's awesome, Hope their's no problem with ur former Job? Have a pleasant Day, Greetings to your students
.

I actually wanna lecture, so, teaching is a good way to start. My former job was teaching too( Govt). Started with a bank though; resigned for Msc.

GoldenDr:

STENON:
Hmmmm...... I sight you @ naturalwaves... Hope u'r good?

Hey dear, I am good, long time. I just picked up a job with one of the best international schools in Nigeria so when I saw this thread, decided to go through it and see what's up. Hope you are doing great?

Nwakali is Nigeria's best player and one of the best players of the tournament. He has almost a 100% pass accuracy, fantastic midfielder. However, he needs quality support in that midfield. Lazarus needs to work on his crosses and not overlap too much. Bamgboye is quite good with those slight dribbles but he should learn how to use "up" through passes and killer through balls and should also make up his mind on what exactly he wants to do with the ball before it comes.
NWAKALI is just too awesome!

If dts tru abt pearl's dad, then he invrested well bcs her voice aint wack...hello? hv u hrd of Q.C lagos? thats where pearl $ ruby did high sch. so yh they must have!! bt its a gud investment!!! duh?

Well, that's good for her but come to think of it, who doesn't have a good voice in that house? Nobody! Pearl was definitely the most loved in that house and should have been eliminated long ago but anytime she comes up on probabtion, the faculty saves her immediately even though there were better contestants to save. Seriously, I have learnt a lot from this PF.particularly the political aspect of it.

Zellie:
You're wrong sir . . When it comes to vocals, Jeff is 100, Anderson is like 35

Lolz, I will take this as a joke.

inimitkel:
I've never hated pearl, no doubt Jeff got the best vocals amongst the guys & Pearl the best amongst the females, its just that performance wise she was poor. I can imagine how happy Ruby would be...but honestly PF surprises never cease!

You are wrong bro.when it comes to vocals, nobody in that house can stand Anderson. If they were to be scored by music experts, the rest will queue behind Anderson but winning project fame takes much more than that; vocals,sexual appeal, swaggs, performance, family's spending power( I saw Pearl's dad when he dropped them(pearl and her twin) off and he appears affluent; he looks like someone that can withdraw 500k plus to vote for his daughter) etc.

SmartMugu:
I hope that will work. My understanding is that some Ogas at the top expect some daily quotas from what junior officers make from the public. So, I'm bent to believe even graduate police officers will be required to still part with daily deliveries to their bosses...
May be reshuffling the police force to different regions away from their comfort zone under no-nonsense bosses would help.

Hmm, I think that reshuffling will be better like they do to SARS officials. When my friend was arrested by SARS, he told me how arrested armed robbers get bailed out with fees ranging from 150k to 300k or more and then innocent persons are rounded up as a replacement.

SmartMugu:
I had a similar experience. I had three laptops in the trunk of a car I was in. My friend was driving and we got pulled over. They asked us to pop the trunk so they could search. Obviously, they found the laptops. Next, they were asking for the receipts for each laptop. I didn't have any receipts, I've had those laptops for some time and they were actually intended to be gifts when I visited Naija.

Next, officer would be like " A bank in this area was robbed a few days ago, two people were killed and a few items,including 3 laptops were stolen. The description of the laptops are same as the ones they just found in the car, and that I looked like one of their most wanted suspects. I was thinking "does this man have the entire police database in his head, or how does he know the specs of the laptops stolen from the bank or if he was lying. I knew he was lying.
I had experienced similar stories with them before, I had nothing to do with whatever he was talking about.

Fortunately, earlier that day I was at a bar somewhere in Festac. About 10 police officers came in there and we were all drinking together. I had ended up buying some of them drinks and they had exchanged numbers with me and told me to call them whenever I had any issues with police. So, I called one of them right at the spot. He asked to talk to the officer. I had no idea what they talked about, but the officer's tone changed afterwards. "So, you're just going to leave with all these exhibits without leaving something for the boys".
I knew that was his problem. My friend ended up giving him some change and we were free.

I seriously don't know the way forward for NPF,it is so sad. Maybe it will get better ehen the police force strictly takes in only graduates and not some illiterates.

OP finished from Funaab. I really detest the Nigerian Police Force. In 2008 or thereabout,there was a day I got stopped by two policemen in front of a police station, they asked for my phone, I was searched and one of them brought out my mobile phone and started scrolling through my directories obviously looking for a foreign number so he could tag me as a "yahoo boy", he found none. By this time I was already getting furious at the stupidity of our police force cos I couldn't imagine how having a foreign number stored on one's phone automatically translates to being a fraudster. They paused for a while and asked....who you be? Identify yourself? Wey your I'd card? Thank God my mum insisted I take my I'd along before I left the house so, I had something to show them otherwise,probably I would have been tagged an armed robber and dragged into the station. Now, the moment they saw it was a student identity card, they came up with another infuriating remark. One of them said..."So, na you kill lecturer?" (Before that week, there had been a trending issue about a murdered lecturer). At that moment, I was about insulting him before I remembered how we have been warned at home never to argue with a man with a gun so, I chilled. He then said again "no be you kill lecturer?". I gently replied "No be me kill lecturer" and then I was given my card and my phone back and the other one said "just dey go", oya, dey go". Anytime I remember that incident, I feel so bad about the way a force that's supposed to protect us fabricates so much lies on innocent people. My friend's experience with SARS is worse (will share later); the kondo he got on his head from that encounter is yet to disappear after almost a year.

kidrossy:
pls anyone
5(x-1)+3(2x+9)-2=4(3x-1)+2(4x+3)...@sap

X equals 2 not 3/2

Geofavor:
I too couldn't fault that working. But this textbook has the answers to be different.
I) 12cm
Ii) 30cm
Iii) 336cm^2

I think you checked the wrong answers,maybe there is a mistake in the typing cos I got exactly the same answers as what he got too.

Sirneij:
You did a great job at Dejt4u! Thesame explanatory approach is needed here:
1.Find The set of values of x and y which satifies the equation <i>x² - y - 1 =0</i> and <i>y-2x +2 =0</i>.
2.A canal has rectangular cross section of width 10cm and breadth 1m.If water of uniform density 1gm/cm^3 flows through it at a constant speed of 1000mm per minute, find the adjacent sea.
3.If the maximum value of y =1+hx-3x^2 is 13,find h.
4.If a circular paper disc is trimmed in such a way that its circumference is reduced in ratio 2:5,in what ratio is the surface area reduced?

Cross check your questions. If a circular object is trimmed, the circumference should reduce and not increase. I don't think that 2:5 is correct except if 5 represents the old circumference and 2 the new one. Kindly recheck or paste the snapshot.

Sir, The car is available for inspection, If you want to see it.

Alright , nice ride.

Upload more pictures.

Why do you want to sell it?

Antoinne:
I suppose the way you were doing it was to resolve dx on one hand, and dy on the other to the lines at y=0 & x=0 respectively, so that you obtained dSx = sqrt(5)dx & dSy = sqrt(5)dy

And you then did, dS = dSx.dSy = 5dxdy. if this is how you did it, then you are wrong.

you should understand that even though, you had rightly resolved the elemental distances, you can't multiply then on that surface, because the surface is also bounded by y = 1-x (at z=0) which means in that plane, x is still dependent on y. If you had the snapshot below (Fig 1) where the elemental distance dy will not be dependent on x anymore on that surface, then it would have made sense.

So, it's easier to use vectors. Cos what you want to do is simultaneously apply the relationships given by the curves while still taking their dependences into consideration. In this way, you'd almost be resolving the surface itself dS and not the elemental distances.

Look at Fig2, where the same surface has been resolved onto the xy plane. On that xy plane, the last coordinate that will make the area the same is (2,2,0). So, if you had an elemental area on that surface dS₁, you can then obtain the angle between that area and the surface with the coordinate (1,1,2). Note that that is a mirror image of the surface in question, but in a different quadrant.

So, the angle between the two surfaces will be
(-1.5i-1.5j).(-0.5i-0.5j+2k) = sqrt(4.5).sqrt(4.5).cos(phi)
cos(phi) = 1/3.

dS.cos(phi) = dS₁
dS = dS₁/cos(phi) = 3dS₁

dS₁ = dxdy

So, dS = 3dxdy.

This elemental area will be the same as the elemental area on the main surface (they are simply mirror images).

Note: you could have resolved to the other side (270-360deg), and you'd have the same answer

Nice analysis. Bravo!

Richiez:
Brilliant contribution.
your points have been noted and will come in handy, and for the bolded i need to know what others think about it. does anyone have a contrary view?

Okay.

dejt4u:
@ d bolded, by His grace, I was the winner of the Season 2 NMQC.. Along with the two very intelligent ladies as the runners up; AmazingAngel and STENON.. So sad that the thread is no more on internet.. Lol

being a quiz master is very tempting but I dont think that I will be very available and I will not want to disappoint you. I am very confident about Agentofchange1 (aka Benbuks), STENON, Alphamaximus, and Naturalwaves (a.k.a Mr Tobi)..

I shall give you all background moral supports I can by His grace..

Thanks for this concept

I sight you boss. Hope you will be available for the competition? I just hope I will have enough time as well.

The questions shouldn't be abstract and should not be set in such a way that those that aren't mathematic major won't be able to attempt it. There are also a lot of basic yet tough questions( much of those should be considered for the quiz so that a wide variety of participants can take part for a reasonable period and not just abscond at the sight of complex advanced mathematics questions.

I love the style that was introduced to the last quiz competition where at a stage, each participant gets a unique question which must be answered within a stipulated time after which the question will be opened to other participants as a bonus. this should be continued.

At a latter and very important stage of the competition, all answers should be sent to a mail address and not posted here in order to avoid dubbing by participants at the nick of time. Last time, there was a funny scenario where some participants started getting the same answer as the the one that was posted by a participant, only for all of them to be wrong. If they were correct, it would have been free points so the email address option comes handy here.

Sometimes, I think network issues should be considered, could get so bad at times thus, the time for submitting answers should be extended a little bit.
#The major downside of an online quiz is that there might be multiple persons behind a moniker or several solvers as participants aren't visible# Still fun though.

Lastly, please, the competition shouldn't take place during work hours. Night time will be the best during workdays.

I want to be a participant.

fineyemi:
Were u blindfolded? Didn't u see physics on the list?

Lol,calm down. I didn't remember seeing it. Thanks for removing the blindfold.Happy now?

anangboy:
At the risk of posing a self-serving bias, i will say computer science should occupy a high position there. Computer science is entirely applied mathematics. And if you do not know what my last sentence means, sorry l can't save you.

STEM fields are generally nothing to fvck with.

I also remember a Prof of Maths used to say if he wants to fill a vacancy in mathematics, he can only hire a mathematician or a computer scientist.

Well said. I can't imagine someone coming up with such thought of mathematics being tougher than computer science. Physics is not even on the OP's list and it s far far tougher than mathematics.

AweEngineer:
computer science , one of the simplest science course i know.
I think GEOLOGY should be on the list.

**##MyOwnOpinion

Maybe it is one of the simplest courses in your school.

dicksonxtreme:
Computer science it's not tough compared to Geophysics and mathematics

I'm a computer science student I know what I'm saying... My roommate is doing geophysic and I see his lecture notes and I feel sorry for him

Every computer science student I knew in my school is a a good mathematician and we shared exactly the same courses with mathematics departments up till 200 level and there was no big deal. only courses like abstract algebra,groups and rings, real analysis posed a little problem. I saw their notes up to the finals and nothing special. the mathematics students fairly get past a credit in computer based courses but we aced almost all their courses superbly well.
Infact,it became so embarassing at a time that the mathematics lecturers tongue-lashed their students for always lagging behind computer science students for all shared courses.

Truth is,all good computer scientists are excellent mathematicians whereas,the reverse can't be said about mathematicians.

Computer science requires a high level of cerebral capacity and IQ unlike maths where,if you are good at Lacram Lapour,you would be good to go.

If truly you study Csc and still think maths is tougher than what you do then it must be one of these 3 things;
1)Your Csc lecturers are half baked.
2)Your lecturers do not cover the subject matter well and only expose you to a minute part of what you should know.
3)Your tests and examinations have been so watery such that it is no where near what it is supposed to be talkless of being world standard.

Your list is not complete without computer science. Computer Science is the king of all mathematical sciences, it should replace mathematics on your list.
