Interesting year. I messed up my A level Maths in 2003.... (failed)

Trying to make amends.

Ah, I see the problem. You've got your square root clogging up your tangent and your multiplication is kinked.

I would've been able to do this when I was doing my Maths and Further Maths A-Levels. Now I can only just put 2 and 2 together...

I've enjoyed how many people have been useless in this thread, makes me feel better about my lack of advanced maths skills!

Is it just me or does this stuff just fall out of your head as soon as you stop using it on a daily basis? I had to do loads of calculus for Electrical & Electronic Engineering BTEC but I can't remember any of it now!

Been a long time since I have had to do this kind of maths, but that follows IMLMO (In My limited mathematical Opinion).

Only sad people post mathematics equations at 2:35 in the morning and expect a proper answer.
