Mathematics Applicants 2012

Could you imagine, tbh step is the only maths I've ever come across that I go wtf? Where do I start? Some of the question... I go to the step teacher and say so how would i do this, then she ponders and says i have no idea, i'm left thinking "greeaaat"...

You have a step teacher??? lol where can I get myself one of those? I have to prepare by myself, don't think anyone at my school helps for STEP :'(

Ooh and since we're all talking about books, I finally got round to ordering some earlier on this week, Fermat's Last Theorem, Letters to a young Mathematician and the codebook.

Funny thing was I was in the school library today and found in the maths section fermat's last theorem. So I took it out to get a head start reading it, and the librarian said that they got the book in 1999 and I was the first person to take it out

Actually we have two step teachers. :P I love Fermat's last theorem!

TWO I want 1!!

Me too.

STEP teachers, what is this madness, I want one =p

Right, there's three of us and two STEP teachers to be stolen, someone unfortunately is going to have to go without!

or we could have a maths off !

Thought I'd be a bit keen and start it off a bit early. Who's applying for Mathematics in 2012 and where are you thinking of applying to?

GCSE: 2A*, 5A, 3B
AS Levels: Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry
Considering: (G101) Nottingham, Warwick, Southampton, Imperial, KCL, UEA and a few others.
Preparation: Reading mathematics related books, Practice STEP papers, finance related work experience, going to mathematics lectures.

Edit: Everyone seems to be doing it anyway but post GCSE's, AS Levels, Possible Universities and how you are preparing for your application.

Hmm interesting: why the neg?

or a STEP off?

I've been looking for a thread like this!

Well...

Preperation: Currently reading 'The Divine Proportion', took part in the UK Senior Maths Challenge, took part in the Scottish Maths Challenge, accepted to a 'Headstart' course in Mathematics at Durham in July, work experience in June in either accountancy or actuarial work... that's about all I can think of at the moment.

P.s. Is there any other girls on this thread applying for Maths, or is it all guys at the moment?

I'm going to the Durham maths course as well!

Welcome to the thread, as far as i'm aware you're the only girl at the moment and the only Scottish person. I'm sure there will be plenty more on their way soon though. Anyway what's 'the divine proportion' like? I'm looking for more books to read over the summer.

Oh cool! Are you looking forward to it?

Yeah I am. But I have no idea what we are doing or where we will be staying. Also I live quite far away so it's going to be annoying having to get there and back.
