Getting to Cambridge: STEP by STEP!

I'm not A crazy is someone who is very disappointed with 74/75 in FP3

You're a mech crazy.

Psh I don't qualify for that with my M1 mark >.<

Libraries aren't so commonplace here

I wish they were - I'd be much more productive. I remember when I went to Cambridge for my interview I couldn't stay out of the Clare library and I managed to complete a full M3 chapter between interviews

What'd you get in M1? If you say anything above 95 I will glare at you.

is it so even in qatar ?

i understand this completely I used to travel 45 min in India to a library (bus autoricksaw etc) but in japan its a 5 min cycle.

do u tend to be more productive at libraries ?

I almost missed my M1 exam lol (shows my dedication, huh?) - 88

Ah, fair enough. Then again... I got 91 in FP1, so you'll have to pick between calling me a crazy and you a crazy regardless of module UMS or neither of us being crazies.

But...

Yes!

Wow very nice in Japan!

Well I'd say so

How you feeling for your mocks, by the way? They're coming up soon.

where do u tend to study normally ?

I sit on my arse for ~12 hours a day lol. Either in school or at home on my desk with everything at it. I don't actually "study" a lot - I revise when things are coming up but I don't usually consolidate. Homework tends to be enough

Psh I don't qualify for that with my M1 mark >.<

I should probably learnt that method at some point. Did you use it as well or did you do my thing with "Let $\mathbf{X}$ be a vector lying on blah such that it is perpendicular to blah blah, dot product, find $\lambda$ and do magnitudes"?

I knooow, one slip with your cubic shiz in eigenvalues and you're dead. By the way, do you just write down the determinant of $\mathbf{M} - \lambda\mathbf{I}$ directly or do you write out the matrix $\mathbf{M} - \lambda\mathbf{I}$ first?

I definitely agree re: the vector question. I had to re-do that question once or twice, the first time was without a diagram and I got muddled up with R, N, P, etc... but upon drawing the diagram, it all clicked and I ran through it smoothly.

I write out the matrix first usually - could qualify as a method mark if my other steps are wrong.

I'm not quite brave enough to attempt any big vector question without a diagram. But do you usually draw one for loci questions?

The library there gives me nerdgasms, biggest Cambridge one right?

It's right next to the Cambridge University library

Used to visit my brother when he was there, lucky bastard had a 2 min walk to it :/
