I will be going to university after the summer (Oxford if I get the grades) and was wondering if there was anything useful I could do over the summer. I plan to keep doing STEP questions daily (partly because I want to keep my maths skills sharp, but mostly because I think they are great fun to do) and have a couple of book I will read. Can anybody who is doing maths at unviersity give me any advice? What did you do/what would have been useful to do?
I plan to try to learn some basic programming, any recomendations for where to start with this and what languege would be most useful?
