Mathematics Applicants 2012

I'll have that as the mock, I reckon my teacher'll fix the question then make up a mark scheme himself.

That must have been annoying My teachers were brilliant with the coursework, I managed full marks somehow. I did a 18-page lab report on lenses and a presentation on the use of steel in the barrels of rifles but unfortunately I couldn't bring in any props for that one. A2 = 25-page lab report on the charge to mass ratio of an electron (we started the coursework on the week before FP1, meaning I had 3 exams to do whilst keeping on top of coursework) which was actually really interesting, although it took ages to get the equipment working. And I wasn't allowed to do it unsupervised because I was using ~5kV

No money! Otherwise I'd have a 360 by now I've got a computer that I use for games occasionally but I need a new keyboard Cambridge does look nice but I don't think I'd be able to afford to get there Eww, I'm determined to do STEP, even if I don't get an offer needing it. But it'll take me a while because I'm trying to teach myself other stuff at the same time *is jealous of people who do A-Level Maths in Year 12*

safety nets? allow them moist talks

We had to do our coursework on internal resistance (Edexcel Salters Horners), ah it was horrible. We even visited a local power station for a competely irrelevant trip. Was fun though very dangerous place! I just used to hate going into lesson, it was all exam conditions and you couldn't ask the teacher anything otherwise marks were deducted! I got exactly 80%, so scraped an A
We used one of them Van De Graaff generators in physics once, i used one in school but when my physics teacher told us they generate around 10,000 volts, i chickened out

Ha, i don't do much with my computer. built it myself to play WoW, got bored then quit. Im a 360 kid . Aw but if its for an interview and a chance at getting in surely your parents will kindly offer? I want to do STEP, maybe AEA, but at the moment im just using AEA as practise for STEP. Good thing about STEP is that its written by OCR so its all the usual syllabus.

EDIT : sorry for long reply, went out at 4 and literally just got in from playing football. I ache, alot.

Are there any C1/C2 friendly questions in the AEA? I want practice at the exam style, but haven't done much C3/C4.

There's a few but it's mainly C3/4. Usually 1 or 2 logs and series qs per paper, iirc.

I'm probably one of the only people who can honestly say they're thankful for being on OCR B for Physics, I hate practical exams and tend to cock things up if I'm under pressure. So doing it in my own time was fine by me. Van De Graaff - if that's the one I think it is my old science teacher got someone to put their hands on it. Her hair was amazing after that

Nah my parents have no money either, my dad's job's got no work to offer him so he's not been paid in a couple of months and I can't see it getting much better. Are there any C1/C2 friendly questions in the AEA? I want practice at the exam style, but haven't done much C3/C4.

Love football, haven't played it in ages though. Used to be a defender for my school football team at one point.

Ah cheers. I just want to have a go at some stuff now so I'm not rushing it once we do C4.

Just stumbled upon this whilst looking at the other pages. Awesome - which one?

Here you go :

Find the value of $\frac{100^{2}}{100!}+ \sum_{n=1}^{100}|n^{2}-3n+1|S_{n}$, where $S_{n}$ is a G.P. with first term $\frac{n-1}{n!}$ and common ratio $\frac{1}{n}$

The question is quite fiddly/long, not anything neat as your one, but its the closest to a suitable series Q I could find. "Should" be quite straightforward (especially for you!).

(I am terrible with Latex, so there could be an error btw...)

loool ur wet.

i leave girls wet....since im moist and your dry

do I need to call the Mods?

loooool the closest you get to making a girl wet is a water fight..

if water fight means what i think it means then yh

It's from an exam for some uni/olympiad in Asia, I think. (Got it from an old book at home...)

THe solution:

screw water fights. I make it rain

how about a tsunami

I thought you said it was long/fiddly hehe

Seems to cancel nicely.

ooh kinky.. bet all the galdem love u
