They don't (unless relevant to the degree, obviously).

One should never loose too much freedom!

It’s quite tricky to communicate sincerity via this medium, but I want to give it a go: a sincere thank you for helping to get us things like Brexit and a Conservative working majority of 80+ seats. You are a gift.

OK, have installed the new Zyxel 4G LTE-A Outdoor Router and really, really pleased with the results. Feels like a very well made piece of kit. Inserted our SIM card, plugged in via PoE and within seconds it had connected. Without putting outside, just putting it in same indoor spot as the old...

Should have looked at this thread first! I'll check it out, might send the other back. Many thanks.

I've just ordered a Zyxel 4G LTE-A Outdoor Router [MIGHT SEND BACK, SEE BELOW]. We're out in the sticks and on a three unlimited wireless broadband package. We're quite lucky in that I can see our three mobile mast from the house, so we should be able to get decent speeds. If I can get the most...

Yes, I’m still at Cambridge.

Wild guess: you’ve never followed any of Stephen Hawking’s research, have you?

Ah, a bit of a language barrier then: for me GR = relativity + gravity, whereas QFT = quantum mechanics + relativity. There are actually some quite nice results when you try to use both GR and QFT, particularly with black holes. There's a great set of notes here -- Chapter 10 outlines how to...

Erm.... you mean like like quantum field theory, one example of which is quantum electrodynamics that has proved to agree with experiment to an accuracy of 8 (and more) decimal places?

Hawking was an absolute giant in his field. To call him a pop scientist is woefully inaccurate.

In the first line extend the upper limit of the integral to infinity and replace the integrand with exp[-a(t-u)]H(t-u), where H is the Heaviside function. Then integrate your expression and interchange the order of integration on the final term (valid application of Fubini's theorem since the...

This isn’t actually true - the interval (0,1) contains the same number of elements as the interval (0,2). This can be seen by considering the bijection f(x)=2x between the two intervals.

Sorry, still catching up with thread. This can’t be true, surely?

What you choose to put on your CV is ultimately down to you. I wouldn’t look favourably on such an approach. Presumably, if you were persuaded by your own argument, it wouldn’t matter which institution you mentioned on your cv. The standards at the University of Lancaster would be the same as...

You've said a very similar thing before. Here's my previous reply from the old thread: Reading back through the last thread, I see you were awarded a 1st class degree after completing your studies at Blackpool and Flyde College, and so you might think the things I'm pointing out are an attempt...

Aaaaaand holiday's been cancelled! :(

We're off to Antigua on Sunday, hoping that Hurricane Jose doesn't cause any issue.

I think lots of mathematics courses these days have some computing aspect, whether it be R sessions for stats courses, or projects in which students are meant to use matlab (for example). Whether it's a mandatory part of of the course or an optional extra will very much depend on the institution.

Again, this isn't a matter of opinion, it's a matter of verifiable fact. My area is mathematics, so it is very easy to look at course material from different universities and compare. Many universities, even at the top end, miss out on a host of material that is considered standard at others...
