Ah the drums thing is brilliant, last year at the music room sleepover there were five of us who just started playing drums on the serving stuff/barbeque equipment/staffroom and just made up our own little tune. I seem to remember being on the sink...

I think you meant "sceptic" - that word means doubtful. Septic means... like, nasty. Ill. Rotten.

More or less than halfway? Like, if you take the sun and it's current structure and chemical composition and do stuff with that... If H makes up 74.9% and each solar cycle such and such amount is used up, how long do we have Or maybe other information - Hmmm, I may have voted yes but am...

2017036 so could we then change it to -c-c2-...-c2008 <2017036 - 2008c2009 and dow something with that?

Um, can no-one help me? I'm sure it's not that hard, I'm just missing the next step. Sorry to bump it, but it really is bugging me.

That's pretty neat, St Aegis. I'm... technically... a concert pianist... I just don't play at any concerts... Next year I'll get more chance, this year I'm overshadowed by all the geni who already have their diploma and get paid to play for people. What I've always found nice about music...

Because I was wondering, right. There's meant to be this big maths-music link. And just assuming many of you are strong in maths - are you strong in music too? Do you play an instrument? And what came first... the maths or the music? For me it was the music, I started on the piano when I...

This is a really great guide - I too am considering a career in physics and am currently year 12 in New Zealand. I've got a good grasp of mathematics (coming top in 13Calc and went to last years maths olympiad training camp) and I love physics - even when my class goes horrifically slowly, like...

:smile: lol I hadn't thought of that but true true. It's cause of the new blue nailpolish I have.

You can see a lovely photoshopped picture of me http://thebluelagoon.deviantart.com/art/Neon-Homework-99271764" .

Oh cool, I'm planning to take physics. And Maths Camp was 4:1. At least the girls you get in those classes are quality though :biggrin: jj

In my opinion, for languages, it's best to pick up one that's part of a family - like French is close to Italian and Spanish, and Dutch is close to Flemish and German - unfortunately for us native Anglos, English isn't really close to anything so we can often have a hard time picking up...

Homework Statement Let c1, c2, c3, …, c2009 be a sequence of real numbers such that |cn – cn+1| < 1 for 1 < n <2008. Show that: | c1+c2+…+c2009 – c1+c2+…+c2008 | |2009......2008...|< ½ Homework Equations See above The Attempt at a Solution Well I simplified by...

Another exception for people with degrees is town planning. There used to be a lot of uni grads going through Beca Carter, seven years ago there were ten new graduates, and this year there was one. How can we have a "knowledge nation" without the menial labourers?

I think it is important to keep your options open. So far I have only decided on a masters in maths and physics. Maybe seeing what job openings there will be after your PhD and where they are likely to be could be a good idea. And there are always positions for physics lecturers - especially...
