I've just pushed another PDF to GitHub, and the MATH130 guide is now hovering at 147 pages.
Good updates:

Work has started up again on the MATH130 notes.
I've made some small changes to the section on Graphs and Functions, as well as the Parabolas section, standardizing how I intend to use GNUPLOT. There have been one or two other minor functions, nothing of which warrants pushing a new PDF to Github just yet but there should be some new content coming through on Friday night or Saturday. I also included a short recommendation on a piece of software called Geogebra. It really is quite fantastic stuff.

So, according to a contact of a friend of mine, I am officially a hacker because I have Wireshark installed on my computer.
Here is a typical "hack". /me rolls eyes.

Dear Digital-Rev. You screwed me, and this will not be forgotten. Delivery estimates are for arrival, NOT when you get around to putting the order out the door.
1. You estimate shipping to arrive between Wednesday and Friday. You did not post the item until Thursday. We can call your estimates a log of rubbish.
2. Your link for help from eBay to your website 404s.

My friend SarahW posted a link via Plus recently for an arcticle "Self-interest is ruling Australia's piracy debate". To be honest, I'm surprised it's taken this long for anyone from any form of media to reach these conclusions. I'd arrived at the same conclusions two or three years ago.

My friend Tim recently asked for what to expect at a year 10 formal. He wants to know what's normal. I figure I would give some advice about dancing from an electronics engineer's perspective.

So someone at MQ decided it would be a good idea to release a bunch of the algebra notes for MATH130.

I have added a significant amount of OCD, and done a lot of things under the hood for rearranging the book; particularly in terms of splitting the book into multiple files now.
It will make management much easier, but the chapters are a little munted until I go through and change them all.
Update removed significant amount of munting from the chapters. It's now 109 pages long; and appears nicer in PDF readers by default (2 pages side by side). Also - changed fonts a little bit. It now seems to have a happy in mathmode.

Included a new section on surds / irrational numbers.

I've added a section at the start called "Introduction to Fractions", as well as fleshing out polynomials, and the gradient formula.
This should now contain enough stuff to be able to solve Assignment 1 for the 2011 Semester 2 stream of MATH130 (as well as a lot of the other assignments, but some of the earlier stuff was missing).
