Sir I scored about 60% in my 11th class and I'm in 12th currently. i have a really good extracurricular and I've done a lot of researches going to colleges and universities. Am just scared about my 11th grade marks, what should I do about it? Will i be rejected on the basis of 11th grade marks?

Any idea why Imperial switched to TMUA from MAT?

1:42:56 I like to think of any inverse function like this. e.g. y = sqrt(x), I draw x= y^2 so i rotate my paper pi/2 anti-clock wise and then draw x = y^2 and remember that the negative of y-axis on this horizontal line is actually on the right instead of left and so i flip the graph on the line y = 0 automatically then chose the domain of y that makes it a function. :) Thinking of this and when you said 2 reflection = 1 rotation. I observe 1 rotation and a reflection = 1 reflection? I will go investigate this observation.

Hello, thank you for the lesson. By the way, you look like Tobey Maguire.😁

Can I get into ms computer science in oxford with scholarship by just clearing this exam only? Or should do anything else??

at 41.25, i believe that the answer should be (1+root 5)/2 it cannot be (1- root 5)/2 since root 5 > root 4 (2) and 1- root5 /2 will be a negative no the question is only asking for positive roots

Hi James, Should I apply to oxford if my a levels equivalent did not go well due to health issues and i will be giving improvement exams(an additional exam in my country to increase our score if we are not satisfied with them ) during my gap year

Q12: is it not just (3/10) * (7/9)? As in 3/10 is probability for 1st contestant to be chosen and 7/9 is probability for 2nd one not to be chosen.

wIll we know the marks allotted to the MCQ questions

Will the 2-mark and 3-mark multiple choice questions be designed to be quicker and/or easier than the 4 mark questions? Will the 4-mark questions be a similar difficulty to past multiple choice questions and the 2/3 mark questions easier/quicker? Or is another system being used?

How will people from outside of UK give the MAT then

In light of the MAT changes this year, will a new sample paper/s be released? I understand that many MAT revision resources exist, but it may be helpful to help people get a feel for the new format - e.g what 2 or 3 mark multiple choice questions might look like, as well as timings for the exam.

1:29:46 note that you dont have to take the factor of -6 out of the constant term, it'll work just the same, makes it simpler for me personally

You might notice that the audio on the Eurovision clip is weird. That's because it's been flagged for copyright infringement, and one of the options was to remove the song but keep other audio. Because the video I'm playing is the live version, but the copyright claim is for the studio version, you're hearing an AI's impression of one minus the other. I thought this was the funniest option. ^James

Is the dimensions aspect of the frog problem to do with countable infinities?

Is this for ma/ MSc mat paper?

thank you for all your help sir!

I haven't looked this up, so this might be very wrong, but I think this amounts to the chopping list (heh) being "more" recursive, i.e it grows really fast, very fast so that it can't be represented in Peano Arithmetic. As you mention, the bad strategy is so bad that it grows insanely quickly, and hence it can't be understood within Peano Arithmetic, you need at least general recursive functions (which are equivalent to anything turing complete, so you basically need to reason about general programs). Fun fact, there's no programming language that can model only all programs that always terminate. You can have programming languages that always terminate, but they'll always miss some terminating programs. Hence, we need the big guns (general recursive functions) to be able to discuss such an algorithm (probably)

i flopped my second mat terribly 4/10 wehn i was doing practise tests with 9/10s and a gold in ukmt

a question about this oomc playlist, are the knowledge assessed in MAT? if I am preparing for mat would it be a goo d idea to go through theses videos first before doing past papers? thanks

Just got rejected Tuesday😭

Who’s excited and also scared for Tuesday when we hear back from

Hello, Prof. Munro. I'm one of the authors of the mean row paper. I wanted to point out something that I think is very important that you did for the students. Mathematicians typically only present a polished product; we rarely get to see how the sausage is made. In my case I can say that I've built a paper tower monument in my office containing all of my wrong proofs, dead ends, and verifications, but you might not get that impression from reading a paper. From reading the results you would not get a sense of how much time was spent staring at a wall trying to dream up a solution to a roadblock or how many hours were spent at a board with others discussing ideas. I think it was important to show your thought process as you covered a paper and its results. This is something we definitely all do, but maybe it doesn't come across that way. It was a great presentation and an important lesson. Cheers!

Wow I really like how Jonah explained those concepts. I really think he could do well teaching Maths on TH-cam or as a teacher.

woooo looking forward to this

Btw, a fun extension of primes into the complex numbers (of course) is the Gaussian primes, where basically any number with integer coordinates is considered, and any number on the unit circle is excluded. Then, you just do your normal calculations, but importantly factorisation is unique up to a sign (-1, i, -i), which isn't that big of an issue since you can extract it into a separate "thing" and still prove a lot of really cool things.

Happy new year 🎉 Thanks Prof. James for starting another season of this cool maths series. 😊

How do you get better at identifying the direction they’d like you to go in, starting and progressing through these questions? Is it just through exposure to questions outside the general AL questions? They are very different to any EQ I’ve ever seen.

i put in the worst application probably ever to oxford and got rejected😀

Hi James, I received an interview for Computer Science, but it says my interview is for a Tier 1 subject. I am aware, that the Oxford website does say that you may be given a lower tier than what your subject traditionally is, however, this seems like a significant difference. I'm just wondering if this is correct? Thanks so much for all the live stream help btw!

My advice: Find all x,y intercepts, behaviour as x-> +- infinity , any poles - that's all you need to connect the dots and plot a coherent sketch to a complicated function in less than a minute

missed the stream :( and no stream this week

When will mat b results will come

When are you gonna post additional mat solutions

Oh no I missed the stream

Oh my God the egg problem is giving me Further Maths flashbacks. I think this is the Eularian and Semi-Eularian graphs right? Route inspection or something it's called? Edit: nvm lol seems like I ran into the same misconception as everyone else. It's really funny how common that is.

Всем удачи!!

How much weighting is going to be put on the additional MAT? Would a 9/10 MAT additional get an interview with a poor first MAT

I had to wait up to 2 and a half hours before my test started, almost 6 hours of sitting in a cold test room, I'm 100% retaking

I know this is very late to the party but you tube has just suggested this to me and I wanted to share my thoughts! I'm very surprised that the stream concluded that (1+sqrt(2))^2023 was also close to a whole number. It seems to me that you can't just conclude that it works for one large number then it woks for all. eg if (1+sqrt(2))^2022 was close to a whole number then (1+sqrt(2))^2023 can't be since it is (1+sqrt(2))^2022 multiplied by approximately 2.4. I've not done the maths on paper but I think that if you rigth the small number as (sqrt(2)-1)^2023 and you are adding that to the original then it is more clear that the first term on each side is sqrt(2)^2023 and that they don't cancel and that the second term is going to have sqrt(2)^2022 and will be positive in the first expansion and negative in the second and thus cancel. So in this case all the whole numbers cancel leaving only multiples of sqrt(2). Disclaimer: this maths was done in my head so the later maths might be wrong but the idea that raising to any power can't always be close to a whole number seems like a sound idea!

I have been following your lectures for my MAT preparation. Will following these lectures and practicing all previous year questions be suffiient

Hi Dr James , like i asked in a previous video , could you tell looking at the level of the paper what the mu-3 score(average of those who were made offers) will be this year, last year it was around 75 , could you perhaps give a rough estimate for this year's mat after analysing the difficulty.

Great stream thank you very much

for the resit of mat, is it a full paper or just multiple choices?
