    It's not too bad - Simplex algorithm is by far the hardest bit, but all in all, even that isn't *that* hard. I'm teaching myself D2 as well

    I think Logic gates are horrible.

    I haven't looked at this since before Easter, will probably have to relearn it from scratch over the next couple of weeks...

    I'm afraid I haven't looked at the paper, but does it mean upper bounds for the travelling salesman problem? If so, you use Nearest Neighbour, I think...

    It shouldn't take very long. I taught myself if in 2.5 days in feb and didnt look at it untill this week and it only took a couple of hours to remember it all again, so i guess you would get thought it even quicker!

    Yeah, I'm not too worried, I just need to try and remember all the algorithms...

    I'm really worried about it, I always make silly mistakes, and the written questions are really difficult in terms of working out what they want said.

    I haven't touched D1 in 6 months (self-teaching). Let's hope I can cope with a whole day's worth of revision tomorrow

    yeah crazyness i reckon it is, its really you have to learn i think its 10 algorithms and once you know them its fine. the only bit i find hard about it is actually remebering them. x
