Does Camb. reuse the same example sheets over the course of multiple years? e.g. what are the chances of me doing http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/examples/A3a.pdf this for example which is from 2015 and being regiven it next (/this) year ? (assuming I get in).

Not sure about DE, but the online example sheets for V&M for years 2014 and 2015 are exactly the same.

The questions are almost identical, yeah. That's why I'd recommend not doing any Cambridge example sheets and instead, doing the Oxford ones.

Beardon's textbook finally arrived. Starting it now, I am excited. :tongue:

Edit: Much smaller in size than I expected, thicker though.

Why not do both at the same time? That is why I am studying from Beardon. Physicsmaths has got the book and yet can't just work through it lol.

Too lazy tbh, 1 at a time suits me better

Beardon is like 300 pages and teaches you V&M and Groups at the same time whilst if you were reading through the LNs you would need to get through V&M first and then Groups, whereas for people who want to do Groups first, the first chapter of Beardon's textbook introduces them to Groups. It seems like the lazy person would choose Beardon's over going through lecture notes for V&M and Groups separately.

k m8, I am here having fun doing Groups with Beardon and chilling with the fact I do Groups and V&M at the same time.

Btw, when you want to show that the set Z\mathbb{Z} is a group with respect to addition, do you have to show that the set satisfies all the four properties of a group (with respect to a binary operation) or can we only prove property (3) i.e "there is a unique ee in GG such that for all gg in GG, g∗e=e=e∗gg*e = e = e*g" ? I am currently doing one of the exercises in the textbook and I have gone so much in detail on proving all the four properties, whereas Beardon states that "It follows that when we need to prove that, say, GG is a group we need only prove" property (3).
