Amazing.

Maybe he'll just laugh merrily and reminisce about his own wacky student days. Or you could buy a mask and see if he notices it's you.

When 9am lectures get cancelled I can never work out whether I'm pleased or not. On the plus side I can go back to bed, on the other hand, I woke up for no reason whatsoever. Still...

and nice pics tufts.

Cheers for that. I was almost certainly looking at doing Maths Physics, probably Codes and something else. The idea would be to keep my options open, so I will have to see the progressian plan for it all.

There is no flow chart or anything for maths, which is a little annoying, you have to go to the information page for each individual module and check the prerequisites. I've looked at 3rd year modules so often, I can tell you what not taking various options will exclude in the 3rd year:

If you don't take Algebra and Number Theory you can't do:[INDENT][/INDENT]

If you don't take Mathematical Physics you can't do:[INDENT][/INDENT]

If you don't take Statistical Methods you can't do:[INDENT][/INDENT]

If you don't take Complex Analysis (as in you do Contours & Actuarial instead) you can't do:[INDENT][/INDENT]

If you don't take Probability (P&AM or P&GT) you can't do:[INDENT][/INDENT]

If you don't take Numerical Analysis you can't do:[INDENT][/INDENT]

Modules? Are they asking you about next year or something already?

They'll publish what's available this week some time, we've got to pick by the end of the holidays (so ages away). I've been looking at least year's ones (they don't change that much year on year, just that some won't be available if people are on research leave or whatever), and there are the usual annoying restrictions (I hate medieval history...), and the mini-dissertation module which I want to do doesn't guarantee that you'll get a group doing a period that you're actually interested in. If I get my first choices I'll be ok, but I was really keen on the mini-dissertation module until I found out that you can't put all Late Modern ones as your choices (have to put 3 in order of preference, one must be Medieval, one Early Modern and one Late Modern). Anyway... back to the essay...
