Good stuff. :biggrin:

So - have you started looking at any STEP papers yet?


As I mentioned before...
Looked but only attempted one question :L

I must have missed that post. :L

You could try some more now that exams are over. Have you finished Core 4? :smile:

I'm spending my last FP3 lesson this term on STEP.


Nice. I get to spend all of my remaining F.Maths lessons on STEP as the class have started M1 but I've done it. :tongue:

I'm with you for CompSci with maths , although I haven't looked at STEP at all yet, only just started C4 this week.


Awesome, glad to find someone else wanting to do CompSci! And I think most people haven't even thought about STEP yet, so you'll still be ahead of the majority :biggrin:

OK. :smile: How come you might not do the others?

Too much stress considering I don't need them.

Uh huh. That would be the most sensible idea.

Simplify:

(1x)r=0n(1+x2r) \displaystyle (1-x)\prod_{r=0}^n (1+x^{2^r})

Hey everyone. I want to start doing some STEP work for the exams next year so that i am thoroughly prepared. Where would be a good place to start? Should i just go over past papers, because the past papers are really difficult and overwhelming when i look at them. If you've done STEP, how did you find them in the end, and where did you start?

(1x)r=0n(1+x2r) \displaystyle (1-x)\prod_{r=0}^n (1+x^{2^r})

=(1x)[(1+x0)(1+x2)(1+x4)(1+x2r)]\displaystyle = (1-x) \left[(1+x^0)(1+x^2)(1+x^4) \cdots (1+x^{2^r}) \right]

Unparseable latex formula:

\displaystyle = 2(1-x)\left[1] ,



=2(1x)[1+x2+x4+x6+x8++x2(2n1)]\displaystyle = 2(1-x)\left[1 + x^2 + x^4 + x^6 + x^8 +\cdots + x^{2(2^n-1)}\right]

=2(1x)[x2n1x21]\displaystyle = 2(1-x)\left[\frac{x^{2^n}-1}{x^2-1} \right]

=2(1x)[1x2n1x2]\displaystyle = 2(1-x)\left[\frac{1-x^{2^n}}{1-x^2} \right]

=2(1x)[1x2n(1x)(1+x)]\displaystyle = 2(1-x)\left[\frac{1-x^{2^n}}{(1-x)(1+x)} \right]

=2(1x2n)1+x\displaystyle = \frac{2(1-x^{2^n})}{1+x}

Sorry for the delay - I was watching anime. :tongue:

EDIT: Should I be spoilering this? :s-smilie:


Yes :tongue:

Yes it's easy. But it's brilliant.

I've done that too I'm slightly stuck and busy though. It's the and hence that bit.

I can give you a hint, if you tell me on which part you are stuck.

EDIT: You might also want to keep this paper for practice before the exam!
