you're weird

shut up
Right, I do maths here and to be honest the course is fine, and most of the lecturers are pretty good. One piece of advice if you do come here, no matter how drunk you get or how tired you are, make sure you pay attention in FPM lectures. If someone had told me that earlier I may not have been sat here revising something which I don't have a clue how to do. And when I say revising I mean writing on here because revision at this point, for me, is futile :smile:

I think I can get 40% in FPM, thats after concentrating in most lectures and revising it flat out for 3 days with 5hrs sleep a day. 10 and a half hours to go!

lol, anyways... yeah Maths in nottingham is good. i was attracted here by the flexibility on modules, and they let you take a number of credits outside maths to count towards the year.
I think I bagged a pass on FPM, but not much more. That's definitely my advice to any freshers next year, pay attention to that module. The others you can pick up cos you started it at A level, but FPM is nothing like and so you actually do need to learn it
