LaTEX is here guys.  A great big thank you to Mr Jones and David Gilmour for making it happen for us.  I’m sure it wasn’t easy.  LaTEX allows you to type in mathematical expressions using special codes.  These display nicely in posts and comments.  Hopefully it will make our lives easier when communicating problems and […]

Anyway here’s the first three questions.  Ask for help if you […]

Hi Folks. Just in case any of you want to do some mathematics tonight, here’s a cryptarithm for you to solve. I’ll give a prize to the first person to post the correct solution. Here’s what a Cryptarithm is:
Cryptarithms are puzzles in which letters or symbols are substituted for the digits in an arithmetical calculation. […]

I’ve been sitting by my computer now since 7.30pm. I’m off to chill for 45 mins. I’ll be back around 9.30pm to help anyone that needs it.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.  Here’s 3.  Not as much fun as sheet 2 in my eyes but equally satisfying I’m sure you’ll agree.  You know the score now.  Give help when you can, ask for help when you can’t.

As you are probably all aware, typing in maths formulae is a bit of a pain in this blog. Fortunately Mr Jones and a man called David Gilmour are investigating ways in which we can all using something called laTEX. By using special commands, we will be able to put formulae straight into […]

Well 5M1 we’ve been quite busy tonight.  It’s tremendous to see how many responses we’ve had to the prelim revision sheet.  What’s even better is the fact that you guys are out to help each other.  I hope that I’ve provided you all with a useful tool to help you pass.  We’ll be starting past […]
