Hi Neil, thanks 4 ur comment on the fibonacci problem, and I was looking at ur M208 Website and I see you made a new entry. However now I cant look up the website for some reason, maybe an internet provider problem, but I always look forward to reading ur posts, but lately, just cryptic!WTF? As one serial killer used to say "enthrall me with your acumen!"
First of all I have to disagree. I don't think you waste your time writing here. I think it's all part of how it needs to be. Your writing helps you analyse what's going on. Well, I won't go on, suffice to say - you know it's important to write.
Regarding the maths book, it made me recall something from my past. My maths teacher was so impressed with my attainments in his maths class, he wanted to enter me for the maths O'Level a year early.
He thought it was great that a pupil of his was doing so well and it seemed to give him greater enthusiasm for teaching (he was at a point in his career where he was feeling disenchanted with the whole thing I think).
Anyway, he delved into the maths cupboard and found some maths books for me to take away and practise with.
Unfortunately, I let him down. I went through a bit of a rebellious stage at school and let everything go. His disappointment was palpable.
I don't know where those books ended up but this story is one of the reasons why I'm studying 'with a passion' with the OU now.
Neil if it was just lying there then it's hardly theft is it You will put it to good use I'm sure. Glad to see you blogging again. On a different note ended up in the pub till about 8 pm after the tutorial talking to Grahame about philosophy mathematics etc. Infectious enthusiasm is what it's all about mate
