Wanted to go to Death of a salesman and the Freedom of speech on the internet talk yesterday and the union debate today. None of them did/will happen because of too many example sheets :tongue:

Congrats minimo!! Do you know which College yet?

I want to go to Secret Discotheque tonight but need to find people first.

Congrats Minimo :grin:

I'm increasingly tempted by Management Studies (read: a year at Cam with no work to do). I can't find out how funding/payment works though

Well done minimo :smile:

Argh, I've got through another book but still got two more to go before I can even think about having some idea of what to put in this essay. I'm absolutely exhausted though. Got a supervision in an hour, so I'm tempted not to do any work until after that and Hall...

I don't even know what half these questions are asking me. :rolleyes:

Either our lecturer is too Russian to speak decent English, or he's too thick to have told us what half the terms here mean. Never mind. I've done 8 out of 18, so I don't care. It's not a brilliant attempt, but it's substantial enough to be "I didn't have much time" rather than "I'm thick" / "I couldn't be arsed".

Complex analysis 1.

I'm probably just being thick, but still...

"Let D be a domain not containing 0, and let lambda: D --> C be a branch of the logarithm. Determine all possible branches of the logarithm on D in terms of lambda."

I have no idea what "all possible branches of the logarithm on D" means. It can't just be lambda + 2k.pi, surely?! And yet I don't know what the hell else it might be asking.

Why do they schedule all that cool stuff in week 4/5? I'm not amused :mad:

Anyways, I'm off to my supervision...

Prof. Gowers: "Suppose each individual tosses a coin. If it gets heads, it will reproduce twice, if it gets tails, it just goes off and dies."

Life in terms of probability theory.

Oh, is that what everybody was laughing about? I was dozing off.

That's what I would guess as well, but there's probably some formality involved in actually constructing a branch, as well as showing that there are no others... Wikipedia has a little paragraph about it.

I saw you today... If you're actually Seth, that is. And if I've remembered the name correctly.

You were walking past Monsoon on the way to Sainsbury's, and I stormed past in the opposite direction looking very angry :tongue:

Very probably. I was looking for icing sugar.
