WMS Newsletter (25/01/12)

Dear WMS members,

Hello again, and welcome to another weekly email! For the rest of the term, we will be sending out an email every wednesday with infomation on whats coming up over the next week or so, before its too late. As always, feel free to skip sections that don't apply to you (although this week I would suggest they're all worth at least reading), but please do check them all - you'd be amazed how many times we get asked something we answered previously. This weeks covers LaTex classes, Talks and a social to Laserquest.

Topological Banana 2

After the phenomenal success of this year's first Topological Banana in week 6, Friday week 9 is time again for Top B - maths style!

For those who went last time, good choice and hope you had a great night - I know we all did!
If you didn't, this is your chance to make up for it and join us in trying to drink the president under the table!

We'll be meeting and CIRCLING in the COPPER ROOMS at 8pm, before dancing the night away at Top Banana.
Or, for those of you who just can't get enough horrendous abuses of notation, we'll be
1-sphering ∈ Cu-room|₈ → sup{B | B ∈ A, for A Bananach space}

More reasons to go can be found in prop11.11 " http://tinyurl.com/topologicalBanana " (Bas 2011)

We look forward to seeing you all there so buy your society ticket for just £1, selecting maths when you check out!

C Programming & LaTeX classes

C Programming
We've been told that there are a number of people who feel not enough support is being provided for those taking the C Programming course. Therefore, at the times listed above, we will be more than happy to provide assistance with this at the times listed above. In each one there will be members of the society there to help you who have taken the course previously, most having achieved over 80% in the module.

LaTeX Classes
As you may be aware, around this time each year Warwick Maths Society runs classes in the LaTeX markup Language. For those of you who don't know, LaTeX is the best way to make your maths look slick and professional.It is used for lecture notes and assignment sheets, and second years are encouraged to use it when writing their essay.
Early next week, we will be distributing a new improved guide, both as a pdf and the raw LaTeX file, allowing you to see how it works. We will also be holding support sessions throughout the week (week 9) when you will be able to find us and ask us any questions you may have. These sessions will be in A0.01 (the linux room):

Mon 28th Nov 1- 3
Tue 29th Nov 10-12
Wed 30th Nov - All afternoon you can find us in the UG workroom for Maths Café
Thu 1st Dec 2-4
Fri 2nd Dec 4-6

Topological Banana - TOP B social

TopB.jpg
Friday 11th November, 8:15 pm - 2:00 am

This Friday (11th) WMS is going to Top B!

We'll be meeting in Rootes Bar for pre-drinks at 20:15. There will be a circle for those who are interested though there's no pressure to drink anything that you don't want to.
So if you'd like to dance the robot, chat to that maths girl or classically hot guy (I know what you mathmos are like!), buy a bottle of wine* with the President, drink a bottle of wine* with the President, down a bottle of wine* with the President or even throw a bottle of wine* at the President then come on down.


The Pigeonhole Principle

Tuesday 1st November, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm - MS04

First-years! Are you tired of all these precise definitions containing letters you've never heard of before? Or maybe tedious calculations is not what you want to do in your spare time? No matter what your answers to the above questions are, come along to the First-year-special talk organized by WMS (FYI the right answers are 'No' and 'No, it's not' in that order). The topic will be "The Pigeonhole Principle".

WMS - Football Team Trials

Thursday 27th October, 3:00 pm - Westwood Astro 2

Ok, so this thursday 15.00-16.30 we will have a team training, this time with the focus being on fine tuning a starting line up for our first match- likely to be on Saturday 29th (Fixtures list TBC). I appreciate some of you may have lecture clashes but unless you have a double it should be possible to make half an hour - It will really make a difference as a team if we have some idea of tactics/a general game plan before hand.

The League runs on Saturdays with matches taking place between approx 9am-9pm with fixtures being released each week. The rules allow for UNLIMITED SUBSTITUTIONS. And we will select a team of about 15 for each match. With the initial idea being to select a core squad of 12/13 players who would start most weeks and then selecting from training another 4/5** who have done well that week -to allow everyone regular match time.

GOAL KEEPER REQUIRED
we are still looking for a regular starting keeper - if you fancy this or playing any other position please come along! and
