I am studying with all (3) bloggers you mentioned (different module with each of them) what are the odds? (Undergrad? well only 'cos I was too stupid to choose something easier for my MSc Maths thesis. Still, as I like maths I do not mind to have some fun doing 'easy' stuff)

I'm studying M208 with Chris and M257 with you, could this be an example of the 'birthday paradox'.

I'm afraid that I alway cast Nilo & Chris as people who they may not be, so that I can think about myself. Shameless, I know. But...

So, be warned Marcin—at some point this may happen to you too! wink

Neil thank you very much for the compliments on your blog but I do think you've exaggerated my so called brilliance and you are far too modest.

Best wisehs Chris

No I don't think that I have.

You and Nilo, and Marcin, all work in a different way to me. [And from each other.] Hence I learn things, and go to places, that I wouldn't got to unassisted.

You all introduce, to me, what I call, strange things, in the wrong places, "What!, complex numbers are useful here?"

I use you and Nilo partly because you have blogs, and others can make their own valuation as to what I'm spouting, but mostly because your blogs are brilliant.

[Marcin, make a blog! wink]

Well I'm glad to be of assistance but if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have got into the blogging thing in the first place also should I ever get interested in learing the more formal aspects of programming apart from the 20 commands of FORTRAN and MATLAB that I know then you would be the first port of call for advice. Hopefully see you on the 26th

Best wishes Mate

That's the best thing about the OU—we're all fellow travellers and we all help each other on this road of ours.

Aw ra best to you too. [See you @ the next tutorial.]
