Those questions and involving rates of change stuff are horrible!

(e^(x^2))/x Sorry, i dont know how to do the fancy maths font...

Edit: Changed my answer as i realised i differentiated instead of integrating

yeah i think past papers are the best, and soloman papers, i think its better to work through harder papers as it makes the actual paper seems a lot easier than it is :smile:

Don't be a pessimist :smile:

I took M2 on Friday and spoke to those who did M1, and they said they found it hard...so if this is the case then the grade boundaries would be lowered and your grade could be higher...though saying this, that probably won't help as it's the marks that determine the overal boundary... :eek:

If you do a ridiculous amount of past papers then you're prepared for the exam question technique...if you work on techniques, then you will feel more confident with the questions...Revise the topics you don't know...get a tutor...revise in one hour stints...do what you can :smile:

I have zero motivation because I'm already in Uni doing the course I want to do and these are just retakes and extra exams I want to take in my gap year...sad? :yep:

Haha, nice one.

One of many integrals they can't ask in C4 :biggrin:

we could relate this integral to the probability density function of a standard normal distribution ... and play arround with integral... but it doesnt look good -.-
