M208 TMA03

I have started work on the TMA03 for M208 in the Open University Maths Course.

The maths is mostly new to me.

So far I have finished the first 3 questions. As the deadline is 20 May 2011, I am still ahead of schedule.

MST121 TMA01 Part 1

In the first Tutor Marked Assessment (TMA01) in the Open University Maths Course MST121, I got 20/20 for part 1.

M208 Open University Maths

I finally finished Open University Maths course M208 TMA02 (Tutor Marked Assessment)

It was about Group Theory.

The classification of all simple finite groups is one of the great achievements of mankind and much of science depends upon group theory, which is fundamental to all discussions of symmetries of the universe, space and time.

But it is a bit boring....

I think this is because Group Theory really is so basic to the universe. It describes the Lego bricks the world is made from. But one individual Lego brick is a bit dull, until you put a lot of them together.

M208 TMA02

In my Tutor Marked Assessment TMA02 in the Open University Maths Course M208, question 4 has taken me too long to do.

It was about elements which conjugate one element of a symmetric group to another element.

The maths in it is totally new to me. It took a while to work out what was going on, but I think I managed to work out what was going on.

At least, after I worked through all the answers,I managed to get from the start element to the end element correctly in every case.

MS221 TMA02

I have made good progress with the MS221 TMA02 (Tutor Marked Assessment) in my Open University Maths Course and it is nearly finished.

MS221 TMA02 Open University Maths Course

I have started work on the second Tutor Marked Assessment (TMA02) for the Open University Maths Course MS221.

It covers blocks B1 - Iteration, block B2 - Matrix Transformations and block B3 - Iteration with Matrices.

The assignment is due by 15 June 2011.

As almost all of this material is new to me, I think it might take me until Wednesday to do the TMA, as I have to learn a lot of new mathematics.

MST121 Open University Maths Course

I sent off my MST121 TMA 03 (Tutor Marked Assessment) today for the Open University Maths Course.

CMA51 MST121 Open University Course

I received the scores for my Computer Marked Assessment CMA51 on the MST121 Open University Maths Course.

I got 29/30 or 97%. The question I got wrong was by putting 10.712 as the answer instead of rounding it to 10.7.

TMA10 MST121 Open University Course

My Tutor Marked Assessment TMA10 for the Open University Maths Course MST121 came back today.

I got 98/100, dropping 2 marks because I input some numbers wrongly into the calculator - a careless mistake.

M208 Open University Maths

Today I posted off my answers for TMA 01 (Tutor Marked Assessment) for M208 in the Open University Maths course.

MS221 Open University Maths

I have finished the first TMA for course MS221 in February 2011.

It is not due until 4 April, so I will double-check it tomorrow before posting it off, as there are bound to be some typing errors.
