I found M2 to be absolutely horrid, and so did two of the other three FM students I took it with. Will be really interesting to see what the boundaries for that will be...
Right before FP2 I felt just as screwed as I did before M2 (those two have always been the modules I've struggled the most with), and I was expecting the worst today, but I actually found the exam to be pretty straightforward. Not super easy but it wasn't the M2-level disaster I was preparing myself for.
There's no way I'm getting A* on Further Maths at this point, but that's alright since I don't need it. I might have barely scraped 90UMS for FP2 but I'm 99.9% sure I won't get it on either S2 or FP3.
I got 193UMS on C1+C2 and I'm pretty sure I've managed 90+ on C3+C4, so my M1 and M2 will probably count towards an A* for Maths as they're my worst modules.
I think I've got 200UMS for S1+D1 so that means I only need an average of 70 UMS on FP1, FP2, FP3 and S2 to get an A in Further.
what grades do you need for which uni course at which uni?? haha lots of questions

My offer is for Computer Science at Strathclyde; they want ABB. I'm hopefully on track to get A*A*A, though the second A* is a complete wildcard; it's Applied ICT and the coursework might screw me over.
This means I can get away with a crummy grade for Further, but I really want the A for a couple of reasons -- my own personal satisfaction (I'm a perfectionist), and the fact that students where I live receive an award if they get three or more As.
I think 61 will be enough for 90! That was hard IMO
Cheers for your solutions. I think after reconsidering the Maclaurin series approximation question, I may have dropped another 2 so its probably about 61 for me too. Ah well, I reckon I've scored pretty highly on D2 and S4 as well to add tomy 100 in S2 from last year

For the series to infinity one, I got the right answers, however I didn't really explain how to get to them, I just wrote down the sigma as being less than the integral and went from there. How many marks do you think I lost?
I'm sure that would be fine. (Well, I hope it is, because that's what I did.)
Also, for the last one, like a divisibility one, could you show that if the difference between U(2k) and U(2k+1) was rational, and that we assumed U(2k) is rational, U(2k+1) must be as well.
I didn't do this, but I was just curious as to whether that would work?

You'd need I2(k+1) rather than I2k+1, but it sounds like it might work. I'll allow someone more knowledgeable than me to confirm or deny though.
