I've obviously forgotten to mention that i'm doing a gap year at Procter & Gamble until the end of august down in Newcastle. So i've got more reasons to do complex numbers!

Is there music to go with it? In fact why don't you sing it for us and post it on google video or something. Hope life is good at uni. Woohoo Timothei. Is there music to go with it?

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the Argand diagram
They have seen the i’s and thetas of De Moivre’s mighty plan
Now I can find the complex roots with consummate elan
With the root of minus one

Complex numbers are so easy
Complex numbers are so easy
Complex numbers are so easy
With the root of minus one

In Cartesian co-ordinates the complex plane is fine
But the grandeur of the polar form this beauty doth outshine
You be raising i+40 to the power of 99
With the root of minus one

You’ll realise your understanding was just second rate
When you see the power and magic of the complex conjugate
Drawing vectors corresponding to the roots of minus eight
With the root of minus one

Long time no see/hear. As you've probably worked out I haven't been blogging that much recently. I've no doubt you think this is a little strange after how much fun we had last year. There is however a reason. I'm not actually at NBHS this year. I am working with the East Lothian Inclusion Service based at Meadowmill this year on secondment. I therefore don't have any maths classes preparing for exams and haven't been using Stebblog. I thought it best to keep Stebblog alive as some of the maths love contained within will still help people this year. After all the past paper exam questions haven't changed. I'm glad that you are all well and still remember Stebblog. (This is the first time in a long time that I've been here as you can see). I hope you are all enjoying your new lives. I remember when I went to University. Meeting so many exciting new friends. Drinking coca cola at the students union with chums. I'm sure student life can't have changed much since 1993! I'm sorry to hear your finding the course thin Timothei. Maybe you should do a second degree at the same time. I did ponder that for a while in first year. I chose not to in the end. Saviour of the Sharpener, I still have a set of batteries for you. I'm glad uni is going well. As for Steve-O, you're gone but definitely not forgotten. I hope life treats you all well.

It all seems a little quiet considering there are normally prelims around this time?! How you doing Stebbo? Missing me lots I should think. Hope all's well. SJ Hey.

What could be better? Hope alls going well with you and that you are still finding time to do some MAGIC MATRICES!!!
