Ditto! Any particular reason for your fish hatred? I don't eat them because I'm veggie.

Incidentally, I'm still finding Further Pure Maths 1 easier than I found Decision 1,
Now, THAT is scary, considering how much my further maths friends moan about Further Pure 1! Have got D1 past papers but haven't got much further than staring blankly at them.
I don't know, FP1 is in my opinion no harder than C2, just different! D1 is deemed the easiest maths paper of all, yet I still struggled on it, and am actually prefering S2, dare I say it! And I hate Stats! Maybe it's just because I don't like making decisions! 
FP1 concepts are simple: let me demonstrate - look at a negative number such as -16. -16 can be re-expressed as -1 x 16. We know that root*(ab) = root(a) x root(b). So, let us assume that the root of -1 is 'i' (or 'j' as is sometimes used). The root of 16 is obviously (+/-)4. Substitute back for a=-1 and b=16...
So, the square root of -16 is (+/-)4i! Simple! Now, can you honestly tell me that you don't know what the square root of -81 is?! 
~Wobby~*For pedants, where I have written 'root', I mean the 'square root', and not the solution for f(x)=0!

Its the bones - there are far to many of them and I tend to choke on them whenever my dad feeds me fish (yes I am 20 but my dad still decides what I eat, otherwise I dont).
They also taste like fish which I just dont like. Must have been all those fish fingers I ate as a child.

Yep, I fully agree with you on the disgustingness of fish!
D1 is meant to be easy?! It's the worst one of the lot for me.
Hi Noodle! Glad you're well! I'm fine thanks.

Apr 28 2007, 10:25 PM
Hehe, then maybe you're like me - I hated D1, hated it! Critical paths and stuff like that, yuk, yuk, yuk! But imaginary numbers... 
Proof by induction is a bit tedious at first I guess in FP1, but once you get the hang of it, it is so easy marks - at least I hope so, unless I lose marks for the way I set my proof out. I guess I'll have to check the mark scheme.
Don't like fish either, mainly because of those bones. It seems like you are taking a risk of eating staples! (I wonder if that is why they are called something different to standard bones in French, German and Italian. By the way, did anyone notice that pineapple is called 'ananas' in all 3 languages too?) I pretty much refuse to eat it if I can!

Sounds good! The school orchestra I go to did pirates of the carribean for a concert, and this Year11 music GCSE pupil did it for her ensable recording.
