DEs are too simple. For this one, you need a Chaos system(Original post by darkenergy)
Now this situation can probably be modelled by a series of differential equations which are essentially unsolveable.

Work done, is in reality, negative, since your memory gradually deteriorates.

The problem is, I want to keep my holiday work-free.. So yes, bring on the FRACTALS!!! (Woot? the 2.54th dimension? Are you mad?)

Since coming to university I've done about two hours worth of work. I've ignored my examples sheets, and missed a good proportion of lectures.
If you modelled my learning cycle in a DE, then you'd have to stick a big negative constant on the back to simulate me not doing most stuff.
To the optimist the glass is half full. To the pessimist the glass is half empty. To the Engineer the glass is twice as big as it need be. -

Patch: to the compsci, the glass has a metastable amount of water. -

Without talking random Maths crap I don't understand, don't worry if you don't learn absolutely everything now. There is a huge amount of stuff and you'll be surprised how much goes in anyway. Do as much as you can and then panic and try to do the rest at Easter. Bin the kidney, everyone does.

Cool - that's where complexity theory comes in then. I don't think the system is itself purely chaotic, it is in fact, to my knowledge, maintained at the edge of chaos. That is, any pertubation brings about large changes in the system. -

We get to do Complexity theory at some point... frankly, I am not looking forward to anything that's chaotic. -

It don't remember there being anything to do with 2.45 dimensions or any chaos ********, it's all about trying to derive a polynomial time reduction to 3SAT iirc.

Question on Moral stand.
Patch: My supervisor wrote "Ass -> Concl" on the board today. Anyone care to tell the world what he meant by that?
ppfft, I don't care, it's all theory ****.

People say physics explains things. How much of physics do you want to know?

I don't want to learn Complexity Theory
! I want to do normal nice Vector Calculus kind of maths
.
Yeah, it's L&P, assumption implies conclusion. He just wrote down Ass without even realising what he has just written. -

My DoS seems to have marked IA microeconomics papers for the last several years, and he i think he thinks i have the IQ of a dodo - not good.

So? He's not going to know what essays you write in the exam
Please, permanent ban after tonight. Please. I will thank you when I pass my exams.

Oh yea, they said something about (400!!) MCQs as well as the steeplechase. I wasn't really paying attention to Whittaker at the time...
