Bring your revision-related problems to us and we'll see if we can help. Either way, you get free food. On Tuesdays and Thursdays now (not wednesdays).
On August 8th 1900, in what was possibly the most famous lecture in the history of mathematics, the great David Hilbert set a list of 23 open problems that he deemed important enough to set the direction for mathematical research in the 20th century. These problems have all gained a special status in mathematical lore and have gained a great deal of attention during the past 100 years, leading to the resolution of many (though not all) of them.
The study of Diophantine Equations, that is, equations to which we want to find integer solutions, is one of the oldest and most fruitful areas of number theory. Many famous problems, such as Fermat's Last Theorem or Catalan's Conjecture ("the only two consecutive powers are 8 and 9") are examples of Diophantine equations which have sparked great interest and, in some cases, entire areas of mathematics which have been developed in order to solve them (ring theory and elliptic curves being two notable examples).
Next Monday the WMS is having a social in Top B. There will be lots of frivolous fun, frolics, dangerous drinks mayhem, and hats...
For early birds, we will be up in the grad from 8:30 and heading down to top b at 9. We'll grab some seats upstairs. Come say hi.

The Warwick Mathematics Society will be selling revision guides for the following first year modules on Thursday between 12:30pm and 1:30pm in the Street:
MA106 Linear Algebra
MA131B Analysis II
MA133 Differential Equations
MA134 Geometry and Motion
ST111/2 Probability A & B
They're free for members of the society and £1 each for non-members. If you can't make it between 12:30 and 1:30, we'll be in the undergraduate workroom until about 4pm for Revision Cafe.
The product of a burly scandanavian with a dream of classifying dynamics, lie groups are one of mathematics' great success stories- completely classified and packaged neatly, these elegant structures now find use in a myriad of research areas; from theoretical physics (lying at the heart of Lisi's G.U.T., as well as tacitly in much and most of quantum mechanics) to the classification of differentiable structures on 4-manifolds (famously used by Donaldson to prove that there are infinitely many inequivalent differentiable structures on
, despite there being just one topology) to t
The WMS revision groups are a chance for people who are struggling to
understand a module to meet in a reasonably interactive setting, led by an
undergraduate who has taked the exam in said module.
These are designed to be a little bit more informal than revision lectures
given by academics, and although the people leading them will not be quite
as knowledgable as the lecturer, they will be in a better position to
remember what it is like to not understand it all.

Few theorems in the history of mathematics have acquired the almost legendary status that quadratic reciprocity holds in number theory. First conjectured by Euler, it provides a striking relationship between the primes in terms of the solvability of certain quadratic congruences and has become a cornerstone of elementary number theory. The great Carl Friedrich Gauss was the first one to provide a valid proof and liked it so much that he called it his "aureum theorema" (golden theorem) and provided no less than 8 different proofs during his lifetime.
Your last chance to pick up a revision guide before your exam starts.
We will be in the Street (Maths Block) in the usual place from 3pm till 5pm.
Still free for members and one pound each for non-members.
Unfortunately we've ran out of Probability A/B, but they should be available from the website soon.
Tell your friends.
