good for you - hope you pass this time, hadron. 

and i hope they let you know before wednesday, in case we're all sucked towards the mini black hole in switzerland.  ;)
:laugh:
Supposedly I find out before then. Though the administration at my university is so poor I wonder if they got sucked in a few decades ago by some wonder of quantum physics...

good luck - let us know.

the jokes about the hadron collider/higgs boson wossname on "mock the week" this week were fucking hilarious!  did you see it?  if not, you can watch it on BBC iplayer - that's what i do.  :D
Will do.

Mock the Week is amazing, I did see it and I am currently Torrenting the best of DVD ;D

Did you see them do Prince Phillip a while back, or the Cameron Slams Broken Society one?

Quote my post and paste the link, then it should work. Looks like someone blocked embedding. There are loads of other good clips in the related links too :D

Mitchell is brilliant, have you seen him on that "Would I lie to you" programme too with Deayton?

add "the now show" while you're at it.  that makes me nearly chuck up laughing - friday 18.30 (but not on at the mo - see if you can get "listen again" on R4).

Do you study the Lebesgue integral and have you got up to Godel's Incompleteness Theorem yet?

We have touched on the Lebesgue integral, but Godel we haven't touched. I think we do them both next year.

The thing is that I am only really doing 2/3 of a maths degree until I reach 3rd year.

Weir's 'Lebesgue Integration and Measure' is one of my favourite maths books. I sold my copy when i was skint.
I would recommend this course if there is one - most universities teach the Riemann Integral though ( when i studied anyway).

Godel's Incompleteness is amazing; though I found logic and set-theory quite tedious to study and there are few good books in this area ( especially in mathematical logic.)

I did these in my second year - the third year was beyond me.

Yeah, we did the Riemann integral in analysis this year, albeit rather briefly. I shall add those books on my reading list, I am sure they will come in handy later years, though when they cover the stuff I doubt they will give tricky questions on it, which is a relief (and we get decent choice too!) :)
