1E2 is Engineering Mathematics Two.

It includes Elementary Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics, Differential Equations, Intro to Partial Derivatives and some other fun stuff. Here's the course page -

It isn't too bad, but if you leave everything to the end of the year, then you're going to screwed.

Judo - Supposedly ok according to a pal

Yeppers, I can vouch for that. I joined Judo, Phil and Hist last year and what you've said about the Phil and Hist I find to be incredibly accurate However, some of my best nights out during the college term have been with the Judo lads. PLUS the judo instructor is amazing and a hella nice guy.
So basically what I found out is - Don't join any society that just promises pi$$ups cuz they probably won't deliver or if they do, it'll just be filled with ar$eholes (i.e. Phil and Hist).

hmm i know most of that stuff on E2 allready so that looks good. i Will join the Judo club, and i have roped a friend in as well. It had better be fun.

Yep, so long as fun for you is going to the cold upper levels of the gymnasium twice a week for two hours each time and enjoying a world of pain Nah, only joking, its great really, you'll pick the stuff up real quick. Anyway, we usu all head over to the pav after each class for a drink or three.

jesus your here almost as long as moi, but with only 73 posts. I'm pretty sure you will see me, i kinda stand out in a crowd. You got accomdation in trinity hall? very nice. though you will have to be home by 12 most nights i think (?) Nice gettign to know yea over the next few years. Probably join netsoc myself. wouldn't go to mad on the old clubs though, you haven't seeen the time table yet,

dragonkin

12 ?!? god I hope thats not true.. if it is I'll be packing my bags fairly quickly.
I've heard that engineering is about 40 hours a week, with huge dropouts but hopefully it will be worth it in the end, just need to stick it out
yeah I'm not too active on boards, although I do look in occassionally.
Anyways I will be around all chemistry week so look out for me, I look like... well I look fairly normal I guess.. I'm the one with the stupid grin second from the left

Boston

Didn't meet you there, probably run into each other sometime. What did you think of everyone, kinda got the feeling most people where sound enough.

Hey Boston, just in case you (and honeymonster) are interested. all the martial arts societies are giving a demonstration in the GMB on thursday at about 1pm. If you don't know where the GMB is - its the building that the Phil and the Hist are in (big one in front of the campanile and next to the buttery). I 'think' the demo is upstairs, but don't quote me on that.
Basically representatives from all the martial arts clubs go there and give a demo of what they can do. Judo should be good as normal (cuz when we train, we don't give much quarter to each other - expect a few "oooohs" and "fcuk, that looked sore"). Also, have a look at the Aikido guys - some of the wristlocks they can do are amazing.
