Hello.

Good luck for Oxford; to be honest with you, though, I have a friend at Oxford doing philosophy, and I know someone from Bristol who knows someone from Oxford doing physics, and in both cases, the teaching and the actual stuff learnt is much better at Bristol than Oxford (on an objective basis). To give you an idea, the people at Oxford did not start special relativity just yet; we're ahead of them in every single field, and on equal knowledge when the stuff covered is the same. Plus, we have 5 hours of pure labs; they have 5 hours to do the maths and do the experiment, which is overall 4 hours for the maths and 2 hours for the actual experiment. Good luck to them when it comes to making a hologram, or analyzing the Maxwell anomaly in thermodynamics.
The same goes in philosophy; the head of department around here is an absolute world-class teacher when it comes to epistemology. But hey, it might just be my opinion. Regardless, I am very happy of having been rejected for being too "marginal", and I hope never to apply again to Oxbridge smile.gif

Maths and philosophy? I know someone who will absolutely love what she'll be studying smile.gif you'll see, the great many theories of knowledge are an absolute marvel. In the first year of every university, the stuff covered ranges from pure rationalism (what mathematicians love) to indirect realism (what us physicists love), going past scepticism (theologians apparently love it), coherentism, and other doctrines. After that, though, it's up to every uni to make their booklist; I had to read Descartes' meditations and Hume's enquiry on human understanding, which are two outstanding books. On the maths side, however, if you're good at maths, the first year will be a total bore until you actually get to the theory of fields (vectorial fields, scalar fields, jacobian derivatives and all that kind of junk. Unfortunately, it'll stay abstract; if you want a concrete application of the stuff, either go to a library and ask for Maxwell's equations, or ask me) biggrin.gif

This term, it's Rousseau's contract, Hobbes' Leviathan, and Kant's Perpetual Peace Project <3333

You were gone for quite some time, right? If yes, it's good to have you back smile.gif

You're in a book!

"Rodney had come seriously to regret his affair with Iona Cameron, which had blossomed so publicly after Iona's band, Shetland Mist, had been ignominiously ejected from last year's series of Chart Throb. Rodney had been, briefly, deeply infatuated with the pale young Scottish girl."

I was like "lawl, Iona." then more and more details made it you! I don't know your last name, but only that and the fact you don't have a band could make it not you!

Awwwwh, poor Iona. I'm back from my many travels now, so any time you feel like popping online is fine by me.
