Hi :smile:. I'm an international student who's applied to Queens' and I was wondering if anyone on here knows if Queens' automatically emails your result to you or if you need to request it?


You can request it from Monday 12th :smile:
Which subject have you applied for? I applied to queens' for natural sciences!!

YES

IF YOU HAVE A GRAPHICAL CALCULATOR ASK IT TO GRAPH i^(ix) (or use wolfram alpha) WERUJHWERIUHEWFIJNFDJKDNFDKJVNKJVNCKJVNJNJ ITS REAL FOR ALL X :eek3:


yes cause i^i is equal to e^-pi/2 by de moivres theorem.

YES. I just love it that everything works out and makes complete sense. In languages there are so many exceptions but in maths it either works or doesn't and it's awesome! Physics as well since it's sort of a derivative of maths

Omg yes!!! I assume you're a maths applicant? I am (for Pembroke!)! Good luck x

yeah BUT JUST THINK ABOUT IT

an imaginary number to the power of an imaginary number IS A REAL TRANSCENDENTAL NUMBER ?!!

and the i'th root of -1 is e^pi... it makes sense maths wise but just think about what it means... THE IMAGINARY ROOT OF -1 IS 23.1...!?!?!?!?

This inspired me to buy the Wolfram|Alpha app <3

(If I get in) I'll definitely be following this! I've never met or heard from a Cambridge Philosophy student.

Thanks. I've applied for ASNaC!

Actually there are infinitely many (real) solutions of the form exp(-pi/2 +2kpi)

Not so. The college that pooled an applicant they were still possibly interested in would only have taken you out again if they didn't find any applicants they liked better. If another college shows interest in the same applicant, they discuss it. If the pooling college finds another applicant they do like better, and on-one else takes the one they pooled, then that applicant is unsuccessful.

No. The agreed posting date is Friday 9th, so the earliest anyone can get a letter is Saturday 10th January, and colleges are expected not to pre-empt that. Some colleges will send out emails on Saturday but others won't do so until Monday. And, before you ask :smile:, I do not have a list of who does what...


Thank you!

ah yes. this is true. off topi but do you do well on step 3 complex numbers problems? i cant seem to get my head around them. i tend to stick to differential equations and mechanics

yesyes I know but stop getting caught up in all the maths and just think about what you're doing! I see too many mathematicians acting like robots and not appreciating what it means

Just about life in general. About their work, anything they do socially - anything and everything really. They'll also be taking questions, with some dedicated Q&A hours on occasion.

It should be good! In the bio it should tell you what year and college the student is at too.

Awesome! Well, thanks to whoever is organizing this.

yh i still feel like you do every time i think about mathematics. eulers relation between 0 1 pi e and i. was the most beautiful piece of maths i seen. i was a baffled yr 12 kid and i sat there in awe as my teacher proved the infinite expansions then relates it to i then proved de moivres theorem then stu k pi in to get the relation.

Physical natsci for King's. I like physics more than maths because it gives a meaning to the numbers. But maths is such a useful tool and so cool to use when messing with people's heads! Best of luck to you too!!
