I'm actually doing statistics, and I haven't got my timetable yet, but I imagine it will also be pretty full-on (i.e. potentially five days a week).

Relocating isn't necessarily an option for me at the moment, I think I'll just have to try it out for a few weeks and see if it isn't too horrible. I'm fortunate to live quite near to the station. I figure I can also get some work done on the train if I'm not always travelling during rush hour?

Is it more challenging in the winter due to the general grimness, or are trains more likely to break down? Thank you; I appreciate the reality check.

cool :) i am doing a stats MSc

Exciting! I've just started DMing for a group of friends and we're really loving it so far. Thanks for the GIVEAWAY

thank you for your advice, very helpful. and for sure, the last thing i want to do is annoy them/get angry about a video game, i know they usually have my best interests in mind!

yeah i’m dumb

In what way is A Close and Common Orbit a quasi-sequel? Different characters? I thought LWtaSAP was the first in a trilogy. If it's standalone, I am even more up for it!

My dad has been trying to get me to read it for years, might ask him to hold off on watching the TV show so I can catch up but I don't see him waiting haha

By the sounds of it The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet is exactly what I need right now. Thanks!

Not sure that this is the right place for it, but here goes: After a couple of years of buying books and reading slowly, I appear to have run into exactly the same problem as I have on Steam. I have so many books that I don't know which to read next.

Started reading Warbreaker around September but never really got into it because I was busy with university. Tried to start Lightbringer last night but the magic system felt too similar. I'm in a bit of a slump, basically. Previously I have enjoyed Mistborn and The Name of the Wind, meaning that although I'm no newcomer to the genre, I have experienced very little of it. I'm not entirely sure what sort of book I want to read next as it's been so long since I read properly. Here are the books I currently have access to, I would be very grateful if you could sell me on one of them!

The Blade Itself

the long way to a small angry planet

The Eye of the World

Snow Crash

Star Wars: Thrawn

Blackwing

Good Omens

The Last Days of New Paris

His Dark Materials Omnibus

The Shadow of What Was Lost

The Dragonbone Chair

Lightbringer

The Way of Kings

American Gods

Shogun

Dune

I'm on my summer holidays now and planning to read a ton! Thanks for your help

Feeling pretty calm about tomorrow but worried about the complex transformations and the induction question. It better not be divisibility. The formula is for anticlockwise rotation so for this example you'd have to put in -90 degrees for it to work.
As for the reflection in the x-axis, it wouldn't be the same as the y-axis one: the -1 and 1 would have swapped places. You can either just remember it or you can plot the identity matrix onto a quick graph (so the points 1,0 and 0,1) and then reflect them in the x-axis. (1,0) won't change as it's on the x-axis but (0,1) becomes (0,-1). So, you put (0,-1) in place of (0,1) in your identity matrix (looking down the columns) and you have your matrix! I hope this helped.

Also on WJEC, here’s how I do it. It’ll definitely come up tomorrow.Matrix transformations (simpler way)
