Re: (OCR) MEI FP3 - Thurs 14 June 2012 AMI don't know how quickly they'll upload the recording, but when they do, it will be on http://www.furthermaths.org.uk/onlinerevision.php(Original post by gymrat)

Re: (OCR) MEI FP3 - Thurs 14 June 2012 AMIt was okay. But I tend to find these things not that useful (if you've done your own revision fairly well(Original post by gymrat)

Re: (OCR) MEI FP3 - Thurs 14 June 2012 AMI'm feeling quite confident. I also learnt all but chapter 3; I find I'm more confident with groups and markov chains so I'm gonna answer those questions first, then I'll have plenty of time for vetors/multivariable calculus (that's the plan at least)(Original post by MHRed)
I learnt them all except chapter 3.
I'm definitely answering the multivariable calculus, and then I'll see about vectors, markov chains and groups.
How's everyone feeling?

i havent got the june 11 paper someone mind posting it up plsHere we go(Original post by wyoung913)
I learnt them all and I will definitely do the multivariable calculus and differential geometry and probably vectors, anyone have that june 11 paper? cannot seem to find it.

Re: (OCR) MEI FP3 - Thurs 14 June 2012 AM
Surprised nobody's doing Differential Geometry, it's by far the easiest of the five topics - I'll be doing Q1-3, seems to have been the best combination on past papers.
How's everybody feeling for it?
(Also: does anyone have any idea how many people actually sit this exam? I've heard the numbers for M4 & S4 are below 50...) -

I've no idea, wouldn't know where to look to find out, either!
We just didn't get taught it sadly, and didn't have to time to do it myself.
I just wanna get it done and over with now!

Re: (OCR) MEI FP3 - Thurs 14 June 2012 AMI am! Not sure if I agree with you there, but it's certainly not bad. Perhaps nobody does it because (according to my teacher) it's a "mathematical dead end"(Original post by almosttheFool)

I very much like the differential geometry chapter, will definitely be doing it! Then probably vectors and groups, although the multivariable calculus may get a look in if the groups question looks horrible.... Only 4 more modules to go, then I'll have done a nice round 20

Seriously, why stop at 20? Out of interest, what optional modules are you doing? Outside of Pure, Further Pure, Mechanics and Statistics (which I assume accounts for 15). -
Re: (OCR) MEI FP3 - Thurs 14 June 2012 AMStopping at 20 for 2 reasons - one, I've physically run out of time, haven't even finished learning for 3 of them yet, and I've got Physics and Chemistry to worry about too; two, DC (the only one I'm not doing) is at the same time as NC which would give me 5 hours of computer modules on a monday morning.

You can probably work out then I've done the 15 pure/mech/stats along with D1, D2, NM, NC, DE
Reason 3 - I hate decision maths enough as it is without inflicting more on myself
