Probably Callum but I didn’t write the question. If you understand how to change the grammatical errors hopefully you’ll understand how to do the question

Some maths questions do tend to have, shall we say “interesting” grammar.

In question 3 it says

Calculate the least cost of laying and operating the pipe and the corresponding radius of the pipe.

wouldnt it be better english to say

Calculate the lowest cost of laying and operating the pipe and the corresponding radius of the pipe.

Oh Callum. I’m a little disappointed that you sitting on the fence on whether Maths is better than Physics. However I’m not really saying Maths is better than physics. I’m saying that physics is just a small part of maths. Maths is the bigger picture. Maths is…….

Onto the other blog for this debate now.

I do like the coffee into theormes quote Callum. You don’t know how true it really is

Anyone looking for help with their Maths revision?

Im siding with Mr Stebbing on this one as physics can also be described as “applied mathematics” however i am firmly on the fence over which of the 2 is better.

By the way to anybody else thinking about joining in this debate the fence is a very nice fence and a good place to be when this kind of thing happens. We all know what happened to mr baines after his argument with mrs bloomfeild about wether physics was better than biology.
