  1. APN, January 2012

  2. What’s involved (Numbers will decrease) • Career Intention sheet • Oxbridge Research (egcwk/ exams) • APN Web Contact details and useful info How oxbridge admissions really work UNIQ Summer School (Deadline 23 Feb) Interviews, Content, STEP and AEA Other info: Crompton House (Oxford: March) Open days: Info coming soon MEI Support Information

  3. Maths and medicine • Institute of Physics • Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering (STEM link) • Maths of engineering • Cambridge Millenium Maths Project • Oxford Admissions Entrance Test • Maths off the beaten track (APN) • Andy's hotlinks (Motivation & Oxbridge etc) • Ozone in college

  4. Step 1: Let a = b. Step 2: Then a2= ab. Step 3: So a2+ a2 = a2 + ab. Step 4: In other words 2a2 = a2 + ab. Step 5: So 2a2– 2ab = a2 + ab– 2ab Step 6: and 2a2– 2ab = a2 – ab. Step 7: So 2(a2– ab ) = a2 – ab. Step 8: Cancelling the (a2 – ab) from both sides gives 1 = 2.

  5. Solve for x the following equations, commenting upon any special cases that arise in the two cases. (i)ax+ b = bx + c (ii) ax+ a2 = b2 – bx

  6. how to write mathematics in “good style” • understanding key symbols and using them correctly • ‘exact’ values • reasoning, conciseness and clarity
