Warwick Maths Chat

Is Experimental Maths interesting/required for anything?
It looks bleh, and I'm not one for coursework/report sort of stuff. But it's list A for some reason.

Edit: Just saw Tintin's post on the module


Is it a prerequisite for anything in Second/Third year? I followed up the 'Leads to' links but the linked modules don't appear to require it, per se.

Nothing that I know of. It's just something to do in term 3 if you are bored. It perhaps gives you a motivation to revise/gets you out of a revision state where you spend all your time in the Grid/Library/your room.

As for the workload - small pre class work you have to do and hand in, then do the main project. My group did it in the class and stayed later for an hour or so. Others met up during the week to finish it.

It's possible to do 1 hour work just before the 3 hours class, attend the 3 hour class and do an additional hour after it and hand it in = 5 hours. Total time 25 hours. If you score your average it adds about 1.5% to your Seymour if you over-CAT.

Apart from being easy marks, is there any benefit to taking it at all? Will it help with ANY modules later on, because I dont particularly like the whole programming/computer assisted side of things.

OK on terms? (the 12 is on Number Theory/Exper Maths)

Are there winter exams? This seems like something I should already know..

I know there are exams in Analysis and Foundations at the beginning of term 2, but not sure about others.

Stats lab finishes in term 1. If you wanna do it, do it as it will just give you a higher % overall and not take away from any revision time for the others. Experimental on the other hand does take a day a week away from revision for the other modules and its only worth 6 cats.

I'd not take experimental and take stats lab in your position. However I am rather partial to exams.



But there are so many other modules one could take in year 2 that you can score as well on, if not better.

Do you mean it is examined in term 1 as well? Or is it only the teaching that finishes in term 1 and it is examined in the summer with everything else.

Haha what, a decline in workload in term 2? No way - you have actual proper analysis to do, linear algebra, and geometry and motion, all with regular sheets. Somewhat more demanding than DEs and Foundations :P

Hm I might pick up Stat Lab then, but I know if I pick up a module I'll probably not drop it and going over 150 seems a bit pointless.

brap brap

so like

this thread

got

totally boring.

what are you freshers looking forward to most? everyone better be well friendly to the freshers helpers coz we r the best lyke.

BEST ANSWER WINS A HIGH5!

I forgot how retarded this thread got when you are around.

And to answer your quesiton, I'm looking forward to sitting in my room alone doing maths, fapping, lurking and wishing that the people in my corridoor weren't so mean to me, secretly knowing that I could use my self taught mantis kung-fu to beat all of the sport students up if I really wanted to.

I'm looking forward to see which fresher I can con to let me stay in their accommodation until Warwick Accommodation gives me my room on the 2nd.

I spent **** loads of time doing those Analysis I assignments. Analysis II I only really did section B questions (my exam mark was hurt a bit as well by 14% though).
Perhaps I had more fun.

Who are you in real life again? Or do I not know?
