The Official Cambridge Offer Holders Thread 2016 Entry MK II

I hope you fail your gcse's lol.

Just making sure I chill/relax during summer and not burn out from maths.

I still manage 5+ hours of maths a day, which is more than you will ever do, old chap.

Btw has ur Boom Algebra and geometry come yet?
Hope it gets lost in amazin depot.

Lol, at least I am good enough at math to use it wasteman.

In all honesty, it looks really pretty. I can't wait for it to arrive tomorrow.

But can you 'geomtrerize'. Thought not🌝.
I don't have to usenit. Beardon is my dads best mate. He taught me how to count last year.
By count I mean 3rd year combinatorics ofcourse.

He is your dad's best mate? Lol, my parents have like zero connection to academia.

I thought Beardon is not doing so well? One of my Maths teachers worked with him in Cambridge, he told me that Beardon is not doing so well right now.

Erm. I was joking.

True I will never do that, only if I get into Camvridge will I ever do that.
Atleast I know it wasn't lack of 'talent' for not getting in and was just my laziness for not learning 5 maths modules until june/may.
I hope you fail your gcse's lol.

If you say so m8. I caught you lying about knowing an academic royalty.

jk, btw when are you doing V&M? I am already done with first 5 questions from the example sheet; couldn't finish two of them, gonna ask during my 'fake' supervision with my maths teacher.

Well i think i know a decent amount already like that cayley hamilton **** etc. I will probably start something in a few days time. What are the last two? Send us the link.

You are talking in plural about yourself, lol.


https://dec41.user.srcf.net/notes/IA_M/vectors_and_matrices_eg.pdf - the first questions are actually very easy. I thought they would be way more difficult, but seem easier than STEP questions.

I did everything except last part of question 4 (I think I have made a mistake previously or I just couldn't get through the algebra) and question 5 (took the hint from Gregorius and had an attempt through it then got up to showing that $\sin x sech y = 2$ has infinite solutions, where $z = x + iy$ and I just gave up). I was probably very close to answering both of them, but I am getting a 'supervision' in a few days so will be fine.

Lol, you already know Cayley-Hamilton's theorem? How much have you dabbled in V&M already lol, that is like way into matrices and I only just began the vectors chapter (finished complex numbers yesterday, today did example sheets on it and now starting vectors, will probably finish in two hours and just chill/relax with TV series/vidya games)

Cayley-Hamilton is in FP2 for MEI... or am I missing sarcasm or something?

I am not gonna spoil anything, but I have never been so shocked after an episode of GoT. I am extremely impressed with GRRM's writing, I guess I should read the books at some point.

Gonna do some more maths, and then continuing to binge watch Season 6. I can't believe how good it is.

I wish he'd finish the bloody books!

(The books are amazeballs.)

Well, i havent go on out my way to deliberately learn IA. I just know considerable amounts of some courses with one being numbers n sets.
Will look at the example sheet later

No sarcasm, lol. The characteristic equation is also in FP3 for Edexcel, but they've literally ruined the theorem. IIRC the Cayley-Hamilton theorem is pretty rigorous to prove, and is way into the V&M course. A-levels have literally just put it there with no proof or anything, but that is how it normally is; unless the proof is 'easy' enough (not rigorous enough) for A-level.

m8, I've got some extreme headache. Haven't taken caffeine pills in a while, getting those withdrawal symptoms. I've already taken 1000mg paracetamol, do you know if I can take 500mg more or should I ask the fellow chemists? And, yes, I did google it but it only tells me about **** like don't take more than 10g or you die lol.
