Second Years' brilliant thread of mathematical madness

I saw j000.

I thought that the vectors and matrices lecturer was actually better than Wood.

Samir Siksek by any chace? Oh aye, what a guy.

He ought to be good, mind, his routine must be very well rehearsed by now. Don't suppose he "forgot" about the string on the blackboard, did he?

How was the first Analysis I for everyone, fun?

Who is the lecturer for Analysis I this year? Peter Walters?

Yeah we have Mark on the typical maths course. I've got to about question 3 on the sheets and that took an effort. Do you think the supervisors care if the answer is full of scribbles? I thought of a far better way to answer a question on the way out...

already stuck on damn analysis sheet
no idea how to approach it :/

In the analysis 'workbook' it says contrapositive is important, and we should learn it in foundations, but it looks pretty simple.
Two statements, p and q.
If p, then q, p => q
Then with the contrapositive thing I think it means
If not p, then not q, not p => not q.

It still didn't make the question very easy though, but I think I've got something, I don't know how much to assume with analysis, it's like not even being allowed to think of 1 + 1 being 2.
For the modulus inequalities did you do it all in seperate cases? I can't think how else you could do it, but the question says to use seperate cases where neccesary, which implies they are a last resort.

i was thinking along the lines of a contradiction also. errrrrm, yes. i used separate cases for them all. (i think) wrote it up yesterday. i had a fun day xD

I still can't pick my optional modules. We're not allowed to take Vectors and Matrices (covered in linear algebra anyway apparently) or Differential Equations (Diff A instead) despite it showing on OMR because maths is oversubscribed again, so that leaves me with little to choose.

I might go for Stats Lab 1 because it's all done and dusted in term 1. And possible Intro to Astronomy*-- the booklet says Physics A level is a prerequisite but I cant find anyone in the physics department to confirm whether i'm able to do it (I only have AS)

And why does Mathematics by Computer clash with Applications of Algebra and Analysis

*this is a term 2 module-- can i take it and de-register, if I decide otherwise, later in the year after the 17 Oct deadline?

our vectors and matricies lecture was a joke, there are more of us than seats in the biggest lecture theater in maths to start with, then there were a load of spazzed up students from other departments. i mean wtf. loads of people had to sit on the floor.

ON A SIDE NOTE: did anyone see that tit that turned up 15 minutes before the end of the test today and then didn't even have a pen. he just didn't seem to care. God that annoyed me so much.

How did the test go for you noobies?
