    Nah, screw that man, I'm switching rooms ASAP. LSE has ridiculous policies with regards to switches though but sooner or later. Freshers week/fortnight will probably be shared though .

    Wait for a couple of people to drop out, they'll have plenty of rooms after a month or so

    Apparently I'll be studying maths at either Cambridge or Oxford, and it's not Oxford. I'm nonchalantly indifferent to most first term topics, though I'm least indifferent to analysis and groups (do we even do groups?). What I'm looking forward to most is a renaissance of pastimes and being in a semi-permanent state of inebriation.

    Yep. We don't do Analysis until the second term, though.

    Tbh GA, I always assume you're in a state of inebriation. It helps me understand you better.

    Might I suggest that this is the right place to discuss a meet-up for mathmos at some point over the coming year. I've heard mutterings of one, but it'd be good to think about something more concrete.

    I'm a bit ill as everything is spinning around. But, I will add everyone name and probably swayum. What about maths and physics students? isn't that really a physics student.

    About what am I most looking forward to study. I guess that would be algebra and probably some group theory. What I'm least looking forward to is linear algebra.

    Oh, pity. Though I suppose a lot of universities don't do it until the second year.

    I wish. "" Still, one doesn't need alcohol to get drunk.

    You mean lets discuss having a meet-up and not actually have the meet-up. I doubt this will ever happen. Everyone lives to far away from each other.

    Depending on what analysis you already know and what classes you're willing to skip the lectures of, you could always go to analysis II
