    lol, yes it's a strange concept. I guess it could be traced back to a classic simpsons episode where lisa's bully could 'smell' nerds/geeks.

    nerds/geeks are linked with intelligence.

    intelligent people study mathematics!

    random logic, i know. :rolleyes:

    Simps is on stackexchange, i'm pretty sure I remember seeing some posts by his username.


    Got a few of my results back, 100% in 2 exams. Rubbish mark for my essay, for which I spent a 6 weeks in the library total reading background material (feels like more work then I did all year!) my personal tutor is just impossible to please.
    WHICH ONES?

    Nice, I didn't get 100 in anything last year.

    I should read this thread more. I don't study Pure Mathematics any more as it's too stressful. I have mostly been studying Artificial intelligence and programming.

    I'm currently trying to write a program using genetic algorithms to solve the Travelling purchaser problem.

    P.S. Does programming language matter? As people talk crap about Java and I'm using it. Surely, the programming language shouldn't matter.

    whatup, where you been
    Around (har de har).

    Well...
    - Left the MMath course after a devastating set of January results
    - Due to having loads of level 4 courses (which were the ones I failed) I had to find a way back onto the BSc...
    - So I suspended my studies and will resit 3rd year in October, only on the BSc instead of the MMath.

    I have also been spending less time on the internets in general, as I've been working pretty much full time since I suspended.

    I'm very tempted to get this for the title alone.

    Problem I saw (I'd have done applied if the questions were like this rather than nasty calculations): You have a swinging pendulum. Is the acceleration ever horizontal? (And if so, where?) Is it ever zero?
