I see maths as more of a tool than an art

would have to say i agree, not much of a pure mathematian myself, i prefer the applied stuff
lol but if you love integers like your sig says, shouldn't you love number theory? After all it is the study of integers and one of the oldest/purest branches of mathematics. :)
LOL......ummmm i'll pm you with the story behind the sig, but rest assured NO i am not a fan of number theory *shudders*..... at all......
*runs away to where tt can't find him and kill him for hating number theory*
Number theory is goooood :)
Wow, your sig changed! If you love integers, then why not number theory; it is the study of integers after all...

Sorry to repost this but i just wanted to get u guys opinion on this and we've kinda gone on a massive tangent lol

btw, can i get the opinion of u guys... what do you think is better, revising the topics first, THEN attacking the exams, or tackling the exams head on and fixing the bits you need as you encounter problems

adv of doing papers stright off:

-Get more experience with papers
-IF you have done enough papers, you would've cover everything anyway, but ONLY if you have done enough papers

adv or revising throughly first:

-Have a good base to work off and all you need to do is just polish and work on speed

Hm i think it depends on how confident you are. If you feel you know most (if not all) the coursework, try doing an exam and see how you go, if its bad, then maybe go back and revise a bit more before attempting another exam. If you did well, then you could just focus on your main areas of weakness.
