Glad someone else thought so :p:

We got taken out individually today to do speaking practice, it was scary :frown:

Oo, do elaborate. :colone:

Bah. Cheat!

Actually, I use LaTeX directly here but use LyX for my supervision work. :o:

I handwrite all of my supervision work - mixing MathType/diagrams/words is too messy.

Everyone was saying how scary it was, but I thought it was okay...mind you, I was only with the teacher for about 5 mins then the bell went, they were all with him for 10+ mins :p:

He just asked about what subjects I'd chosen this year and why, then about unis, then asked about "Au Revoir Les Enfants" at which point I was like....wtf? :p:

I handwrite all of my supervision work - mixing MathType/diagrams/words is too messy.

I handwrite physics and maths because of the diagrams, as you say, but everything else is electronic (partly because it's to be submitted electronically, which means handwriting involves locating a scanner). LyX is just a document editor which happens to use LaTeX as its back end - LaTeX is more than capable of typesetting normal text, it's just that web usage tends to default to math mode.

Ah that doesn't sound too bad, thanks. Though I'd react similarly if asked about Jean de Florette. :p:

I combine Word and mathtype when I want to produce electronic maths work (like my famous AH Exam 2008 & 09 Solutions :awesome:

) It combines the flexibility of a WYSIWYG equation editor with the myriad of formatting options in Word.

Then I turn it into a pdf using Acrobat :biggrin:

Got an email already from Edinburgh thanking me for my application and asking me to register for Euclid. As a prospective Mathmo the name pleased me. :teehee:

Found this when going through my folder-of-old-things. Thought it might be of interest to you lot.

That was made back in the days when I asked for more work. :daydreaming:

Ah, nostalgia.

EDIT: Just had a look again at the paper, it was quite a difficult one :wink:

I am getting really pissed off with my art teacher, I payed my £5 to get my art portfolio back from Higher and she didn't tell me it had arrived and the next thing I know I can't get it back because SHE wants to display it on the wall for next term! For god's sake, I PAYED to get it back!! She just treats everyone's work like it's hers, she once took one of my pictures out of my folio and sent it to a competition where the art dept would win money and didn't even tell me... RRR

I ALWAYS forget the + C bit, probably part of why I got a B lol

She may just be very proud of what her pupil has produced. If it really is a problem, ask your parents to put in a word.
