We had to memorize bits in ME, and recite them to the professor. Talk about nerve-shattering... Not exactly my favorite literary period, but it's not without its interest, either. That was very lukewarm, wasn't it?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787028348597725812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-54566606966290405672007-05-16T15:17:00.000+01:002007-05-16T15:17:00.000+01:00Sounds a darn sight harder than the past paper I l...Sounds a darn sight harder than the past paper I looked at this morning; it asked me to prove that an algebraic integer that is also rational is a rational integer - an old chestnut, as I'm sure you'll agree.<BR/>Mind you, Ant thought - and this is true - that an algebraic integer was the same as an algebraic number! Can you believe it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-68426079482457543752007-05-16T14:34:00.000+01:002007-05-16T14:34:00.000+01:00The sound of rushing wind is not me heading in the...The sound of rushing wind is not me heading in the direction of the nearest Middle English Tutor of which I am sure there are many residing in the village!! Having thought deeply about these questions my answers would be 1) Wouldn't like to say really. 2) Maybe they do but how is it contributing to reduction in the pile of ironing. 3)Resources? I always took a resource to be something quite tangible. How can something as intangible as a dream vision be a resource? I am sure your answers were much more reasoned, with less of the GOW (grumpy old woman) attitude. I am sure answering questions on Jane will make up for any antipathy over Middle English.
