That is a really great problem, and answer, thank you very much sir!

That's fascinating... any hints as to why? I'm trying to think of the reason...

For said universities the cap has been raised to £9,000, I'm afraid. (Unless you're scottish)

Ah yeah I see, but the extra money earned on average from the degree is still far in excess of £27,000. I'd wager. Although on a point you lightly touched here, I'm in complete disagreement with the fact that one year someone will have ~£10,000 debt from the tuition, and the following cohort...

People are given a full loan covering the entire of their tuition though, anyone can go to university. Of course you'll have a lot of debt hung around your neck, but if you work hard and get a good degree you'll always end up better off.

Sorry for hi-jacking the thread a bit - but what program would be preferable for mathematical modelling in finance? I'm learning C++ now but it really seems so complicated compared to how C looked...

Wow, there really are some talented photographers on this forum :o

That's absolutely stunning, honestly.

Hmmm that's where I'm getting confused. I can see that you can expand as you said and use the method of differences to show that it's 1 but it says to use the expansions. Also there are about 5/6 other questions on the sheet including \frac{1}{1*2}-\frac{1}{2*3}+\frac{1}{3*4}-...= 1 So i...

I feel so stupid, I wasn't reducing the upper limit >.<. Thanks bud

I have a feeling that it's something to do with discarding the k=0 and so changing to to k=1, and then changing the index back to 0 and doing the same? But that feels like such a cop-out.

You chose the right one, try to get it into a form like that.

I presume you're familiar with the standard table of integrals? http://www.maths.abdn.ac.uk/~igc/tch/ma1002/int/node51.html Here's a list of many common ones, see if you can get it into the right form for one of them. If you have to work this out by hand, consider using a trigonometric...

Homework Statement Given that \sum^{n}_{k=0} x^{k}= \frac{1-x^{n+1}}{1-x} Obtain a similar result for ; \sum^{n}_{k=1} kx^{k} \sum^{n}_{k=1} k^{2}x^{k} The Attempt at a Solution Hey, well basically my trouble with this question stems from the manipulation of the limits and the effects...

Unbelievably she's now getting close to 11 years old! This was taken soon after her tenth birthday, although she literally looks (and acts!) like a young cat/kitten, we catch her on the roof all of the time, once (and i do have a picture of this somewhere), she was sitting down normally ontop of...
