Stew, you did it again... 4ms

[Stewart]

What does that mean exactly? I've heard it a few times, but never the meaning. (I can't be bothered looking up definitions of weird, possibly dead, languages at this time of night)

Its a Latin phrase meaning - I have 100 thanks, I rub the tip of my e-peen on your best towels.

[SiM]

Never appeared in any maths course I ever did

You probably haven't done any pure maths at uni...

[JK Ferret]

Amazing how Stewart has turned a sensible thread conveying a message into spam (and wang) from his very first post here

I did plenty of pure at A-Level, never went to uni though. I'm too smart for them

Haha... there are people with more than you... (where is staffsMike)... he has more than double yours... he will show you a real e-peen...

Spam, wang, and poontang, baby.

What more does a thread need?

A-Level Pure is not real Pure

We already have a couple of threads with plenty of spam (feisty) and poontang (most of yours, iirc). The wang was in another recent thread too, can't remember which it was though...

You're talking out of your arse boy, if it wasn't real, why bother? Hah, that's you scuppered, I'm off to bed now

True dat...

Well I mean that its not really Pure maths like in uni... (e.g. Algebra, Measure Theory, Metric Spaces, Analysis)
A Level pure is simply like elementary application of basic analysis and algebra... so although it can be considered as pure, its not the proper stuff
Don't get me wrong its still useful for everyone going into different discipline to know, but a Pure Mathematician won't be doing anything like that

[JK Ferret]

So I lied, I promise I'll be off soon...

So the the pure at uni is the pure at A-level with extra bits in it? Makes it impure, according to my (vague) recollection of Chemistry


On a side note, we've now turned this thread into an educational one. Take that Stew

[SiM]

Well you don't really do the stuff in the same way at uni... e.g remember the chain rule of differentiation... you would derive that from using the definition of differentiation... which is:
lim f(x+h)/h
h->0
can't remember the derivation (it was in the 1st year!)... but if you see what I mean its from a totally different angle, you won't actually use the rule though
Most uni maths students can prove the theory but not necessarily use it correctly lol... opposite for A Level - A Level students don't know what proof means (no disrespect)

[JK Ferret]

A Level students don't know what proof means (no disrespect)

QED?

[SiM]

Well 2 posts elyk, until you have your 1000 celebration AGAIN!!!
