Please don't make a joke of yourself.

I am an ex-STPM student who used both STPM and Matriculation materials to study. Don't tell me you can't tell the difference.

FYI, physics term 3 includes waves + optics besides nuclear stuff

Chemistry semester 2 includes inorganic chemistry (approximately 6 chapters) which conveniently is not part of Matriculation Chemistry syllabus. Don't even bother to tell me inorganic chemistry is easy, I know you never studied them.

Your Mathematics does not include Maclaurin Series, Chi-Squared Test, Sampling and Estimation and many more topics included in Mathematics (T).

You didn't study Pengajian Am. While I won't disagree that it is not extremely tough, don't think it is easy and it contributes quite a lot of stress.

Inter-Matriculation campus game is a state level event while inter-school or even sometimes inter-state secondary school games is merely a district level event, depending on whether you represent your school or actually represent the state by beating all other schools at your state. See how matriks students get marks easily?

Please don't say you learn 70-80% of STPM syllabus in 1 year. It's laughable.

And please, while I agree Matriculation and STPM have approximately 80% of syllabus overlapped, the depth of questions and the level of questions asked are different.

Example, for the same concept, in Matriculation "1+2(6)-4=?" while STPM "3y+16(6)/4 = 24+9y, find y". It tends to be much more complicated for STPM.

Please, I walked through the syllabus myself for 2 years by using both STPM and Matriculation materials (except sem 2 Chemistry, as Matriculation doesn't include inorganic chemistry), and my teachers too gave me Matriculation questions. Don't try to fool yourself.

There's nothing you could say here that could convince me my 2 years experience is wrong.

A-Level is more likely to be on par with STPM. But from what I had tried, both are equally hard but STPM Maths and Chemistry are slightly (only slightly due to wider syllabus) harder.

Hello there sensei. Last month one of my friends posed a maths quiz to us that involves sequence and series.

Question: Suppose that we have the sum of 1+2+3+4+5... all the way towards infinity, what is the value that we will get?

Most of us thought that it will tend to diverge towards ∞. But, in the end we found out that the actual answer is . The video below also explains on how the sum of all natural numbers from 1 to infinity is indeed .
1+2+3+4+5+...=-1/12

In the beginning of the video, one of the physicists showed that . But I have a really hard time grasping this concept. How can he be so sure that the is exactly converging towards 1/2?

And when he is solving for , why did he shift the second series to the side? This question might sound asinine, but does it make any difference if he didn't shift the second position of ?

About the part, I think I've already gotten the hang of it. It's called Grandi's series. The calculations involved isn't too complex, and I understand how it works, but I just don't know why do they work in such a manner.

Just like the other video that involves the Euler–Riemann zeta function, it also has kind of a similar pattern as in the first video that I posted up here. But, if the geometric series ... where , which also means that the summation of the geometric series should exists if and only if x is between -1 and 1, (-1<x<1), then why is it possible for him to continue the calculation by letting x=-1 in the second video?

I got a band 5 for my MUET exam.

Listening- 29/45
Speaking- 35/45
Reading- 93/120
Writing- 72/90

Aggregated score: 229/300

My sixth form senior assistant told us that only 3 students(including me) scored band 5 in my school. Thank you Just Visiting By, Critical_Fallacy and anybody out there who have helped me in my preparation towards my last year's MUET exams.

Krevaki, I got a tiny problem here. So this is the question:

But the answer that got was π-2, and not π+2. This is my working:






Did I make any mistakes in my calculations?
