OK thanks for answer, I always thought that simplify function doesn't change absolute nothing..

This function ##f(x) = \frac{x^2 - 4}{x - 2}## when simplify become ##f(x) = x + 2## . If I enter ##x=2## in the first expression I get ##y=\frac{0}{0}##, and if I enter ##x=2## in the second expression I get ##y=4##. Why different results if this is same function, just simplifly?

@kuruman @Andy Resnick @.Scott . . and all other is this thread Our universities engineering(absolute grading) has less than 1% students with best grades, Cambridge has fixed goal that they must have 40% students with best grades! Our pass rate is maybe 30%, Cambridge 99! How do you explain...

Yes that make sense, but you can still get them very hard exam with absolute grading. In my country at engineering uni best grade get less than 1% of students(absolute grading), often is case that everyone fail the exam. Graduate or first year pass rate is very low.. If all class solve only 40%...

What do you think why some uni (all in USA) use curve grading?

Yes physics/engineering, how good are students in class, one class can be bad, other very god etc

@kuruman @symbolipoint @.Scott @berkeman @Andy Resnick @Herman Trivilino etc Is it a higher probability that we have differences in knowledge between generations or that the exam make a difference because it is too hard or too easy?

I didn't even know that relative grading exist, so I was shocked when read that some uni use this system, because to me at first looks like cheating. Does it make sense use relative grading if exams are set brutally hard(genius level) so no one can get above 80%, in that way you are secure that...

Yes I am talking about university, not high school. Especially for math-physics-engineering. How do you then explain that USA, India, South Korea, Oxford, Cambridge STEM etc use relative grading?

I am currently weighing the pros and cons of the absolute grading system versus the relative grading system (grading on a curve). I would love to hear your insights, experiences, and academic perspectives on this. Specifically, how do these systems impact student motivation, fairness, stress...

Is it true that high IQ and STEM are correlated?

I write wrong, we have galvanized steel strip all the way to the transformer, so that is excelent grounding

case 2 in this link, https://electronics.stackexchange.c...ring-fault?noredirect=1#comment2028722_763901

@Averagesupernova They claim in case 2, rcd will not trip.

in comments members transistor and andy aka write rcd will not trip, because there is no current leak to the earth... I dont understand their logic at all...
