I actually enjoyed doing mult integrals... It's one thing I can actually do and get the right answer... well, with the help of the answer sheet.

I'm totally stuck on Schwarz inequality and partial derivatives... They suck. :frown:

Hahahaha! I skipped Schwarz completely and didn't meet partials until Lent. Ah, thank God for A.

Switch if you're finding it too hard (unless you really want to do maths again next year). I know lots of people who trudged through B when it really wasn't necessary and got lower marks than me.

Nah... can't be bothered to switch. I heard A course has got a worse lecturer than B course. I'm staying with the tough lot.

Get over it! You can't let it take over your life! Meanwhile, as a distraction, set a date for us girls, I have at least 8 wanting to come, so it'll have to be first come, first served once we have a date. I think Mondays or Fridays would be best for us, though some can do Saturdays as well (but not sure if I can, which would negate the whole point of the event.

Finished my essays, finally. Didn't help that I was meant to be working on them last night but "accidentally" ended up cooking dinner for my friend and sitting in his room chatting for over 3 hours. :redface:

And so onto the next one!

try that- its not much use knowing the answer though without getting the method but at least it may give you something to aim towards! hope it helps,

hi everyone,

I'm 17/f/sussex applying to study history at newnham... I was told that it's usually a good idea to have a few people to meet up with during interview time to pass time and make it less scary, was wondering if anyone fancied it? Hmm a bit about me (if that helps) i like punk, ska and cheesy pop, like dressing in outfits that people will laugh at, addicted to tv, and perferred poison is rosé, please mail me at [email protected], if you think you're on the same boat (i.e. wondering if owning horrible histories constitutes as background reading?!)

Cheers,
Grace

I think everybody in this thread is already at cambridge which means we won't be around when you come up for interview I'm afraid :frown:

. (we go home around 3rd/4th december). Try posting this in the main cambridge forum and you might find some other interviewees who fancy meeting up.

I have lots of horrible history books, they didn't do me any harm! Angry Aztecs beats them all though!
I don't think I'll be up still during the interview time, but if you have any Newnham questions ask & I can do my best!

Just to let you know, myself and several others are embarking on a special mission tonight, to make Newnham bar popular! It's not an easy challenge but I'm confident we can do it! So if anyone is bored tonight after 9:30pm, you know where to go!

A friend of mine just e-mailed and said he'll be in Downing till 11th. Who said we won't be here when the interviews start?

I probably won't be here... that's because I'll be busy killing my computer... like CompScis do... :tongue:
