How did you get 750 for SAT Math? =S

Reflections and transforms are a pretty big component of the Complex chapter in Further Math, hmmm. Maybe that's why he kept bothering you with noob questions =p

[joechee]

But I didn't get really difficult qns! And I got an easy qn wrong! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

WTF I would have died in the interview... complex numbers --"
Although I get most of your answers after thinking about it... I don't understand the last one! Do you get re^(i*alpha) and if alpha is changing but r is the same then to me it looks like a circle. --" ok my complex numbers are really bad...

[joechee]

heh, that was my train of thought too! but you must realise that you're probably looking only at a point on the line. A simple substitute of alpha = 0 would tell you that the image after the transformation should be another line.

[liewqi]

Chey.. so it's just whether you interpreted his question correctly only lah...

[joechee]

sort of la, but I think I was totally noobed out by that question =( heh. But then again, all the questions he asked weren't hard, which was why I was pretty worried o.O

[oliviachee]

your interview sounds really complicated. haha is this the kind of math we'll learn next year..

[joechee]

It's the same with everything, heh, it may seem very complicated cos you haven't learnt it, but once you get the hang of it, (and if it happens that it isn't the topic that you just can't get the hang of), you'd probably be like. orh. ok lor
