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.
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).
There shall be a discussion group at the usual time and place this Monday (7:30 in MS.03) but we are not yet sure what the subject of the talk will be. Stay tuned for more details.
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.
Maths Cafe is back in the form of Revision Cafe, and just like last year, we are stepping it up to 2 days a week (Tuesday and Thursday). See you there!
Discussion Groups are back for term 3, starting with one of our trademark "Free-for-alls" this Monday at 7:30 in MS03: anyone is welcome to bring a piece of maths they find interesting/fun and hold a mini-discussion group about it (even as short as 10-15 minutes). Maths banter aplenty guaranteed, "then pub."
The Warwick Mathematics Society will be selling revision guides for the following second year modules on Tuesday at 11am in the Street:
MA231 Vector Analysis
MA244 Analysis III
As usual, they're free for members of the society and £1 each for non-members.
If you haven't already joined the society, you can do so on the Students' Union website at:

We'll be distributing the society clothing order in the workroom, look for the people with the big box!
Are you puzzled by partials? Oh so tired of o(h)? Do the IFTs bring you out in some strange confusion-based rash?
Or maybe you just got bored around week 3 and stopped turning up to the lectures before midday...
Either way- your favouritest maths society in all the world is here to help: based on requests by you, made on our forums, we're putting on an informal lecture/class/discussion-thingy just for you. An hour (and a bit) of simple clear explanations, building your intuition and helping you understand the main theorems of the course- the dream is for total 'ask what you like without intimidation' informality.
That's all at B1.01 this friday at 1- Free to Members.
Ever wondered how your emails got from one side of the world to another, or even how you know they'll ever get there? Questions like this arise when you try to move data through a network, how can we answer such puzzles?
Steven Jones talks us though one promising approach developed in the last few (4) years: Routing Algebras.
Starting with a meta-presentation of his 4th year project talk (i.e. get some hot tips for if/when you do yours) followed by an in-depth discussion of meta-routing. Abstract Algebra meets an unlikely mate: usefulness; in this discussion group that's sure to set pulses racing with it's powerpoint slides and real world applications.
Then we experimentally find a path to the pub.
