You might have to let the biochemists in on this. Although Chloe, Morbo and Stu made a good job with the physics part II (or whatever it was) thread going for two years with just the three of them...

Boo, Chemistry!

Let U be an open subset of C which is simply connected, let f : U → C be a holomorphic function, and let gamma be a rectifiable path in U whose start point is equal to its end point. Then the integral around gamma of F(z) w.r.t z is equal to zero.

Yay, maths!

If you had 9 does that mean I'd have had 9? I'm confused by life and labs. And really want to maximise the amounts I've done of all the others so I can just blitz organic when necessary.....*sigh*

I'm not invading your thread, honest! It's just that you're the only people crazy enough to be up this early! *runs away*

Some people only have 8, one of the Hildas chemists I talked to about an hour ago checked and only had 8 points. You should have 9 though IIRC.

You can ask at the hatch thing for a printoff of your points total.

Chemistry fails because it's based on the idea that things will keep happening in the same way they always have done and induction can only be proven through circular reasoning.

Seriously how do you people go about revising for exams? Because the questions tend to stick quite religiously to what was taught in the lectures (especially for the option papers). Are you just printing the handouts off the internet, in which case missing out on the lecturer's valuable blackboard notes

MrsCarrothead does PPE, in which - like most arts subjects - lectures may be absolutely useless/bear no resemblance to the syllabus

I have a very obliging flatmate who I borrow lecture notes from to copy up. It takes me less time than going to lectures, and I don't have to worry about being poked to death if I fall asleep in one of Timmel's lectures
I find lectures useless in comparison to doing tute work.

Also, Mrs Carrothead is actually an invading PPe-ist.

If I miss a lecture, copying up is much harder for me now because none of the other chemists at my college are doing either physical option paper (I'm doing both ).

Going by the stereotype, you're quite lucky to have someone else at Balliol who's attending the organic lectures.

Arghh Insertion Write up. BTW Valence isnt that bad when you get used to it.

TP do you happen to know where you can get the references for the values of x in the Insertion Compounds?
