I already knew that I was at my mathematical limit when I started Part III... As I had decided not to continue to a PhD, all the stress melted for me, though. It's a really interesting course going through current research topics - basically a shop front for picking your research area. I did pass the exam (probably I was a 40 percent student though!), but if I was under the pressure of wanting to continuing on to research, it probably would have broken me.

That was a really nice video, thanks. My 2p worth (my background is that I took the Tripos and have taught undergraduates at Cambridge) is that the exam is actually pretty good now, and probably very unlike what it was 100 years ago in Hardy's time, or earlier, when you had to "put your mathematical life on hold" to do extensive speed training for a narrow form of questioning. IMHO the exam today does incentivise you to actually learn the syllabus material, which I think is the main merit of an exam - more important than classifying people at the end. And the syllabus material is good: if you understand it then you should have a good grasp of the subject. Most Tripos exam questions are of a certain form. They will first get you to state some piece of theory and maybe do something relatively straightforward with it, then they will ask you a more problem-solving-type question that relates to it to see if you've understood it more fully.

As an example of marking: questions are marked out of 20, if you get 15 or more then you get an 'alpha', netting you about 30 marks extra iirc. What this means is you can slightly mess up on a question, getting 14 marks, and miss out on more than tripling your marks. This crazy discontinuity is unnecessarily stressful and can be the difference between failing and getting a first for a very small incremental effort.

@Tibees, at 0:14 you mention that the tripos comes in three parts. Those parts (for the mathematical tripos) would be Part I, II and III. Part I is split into IA and IB as you say and each run over one year. Thus Parts I and II run over three years and constitute a Bachelor's degree. Part III is optional and comes as the fourth year of the mathematical tripos, which constitutes a Master's degree. Different subjects may have a different partial structure to their corresponding triposes. This is clarified on the Wikipedia pages for Tripos and Mathematical Tripos.

ISTR that, originally, the term "tripos" is a reference the three-legged stools on which students traditionally sat.

Having recently played around with Bezier curves for the first time, I felt very clever when Tibees asked "What is a convex hull?" Granted my answer would most probably be deemed inadequate, but still!

The mechanical sciences (aka engineering) tripos in 1970 had 10 3 hour papers over five days - Monday to Friday. 6 hours of exams every day for five days in a row was quite tiring.

I think nowadays, you only find out your own class, and not everyone else's - you only fid out someone else's grade if they tell you. So the reading in the Senate House, I believe, no longer happens.

Some of the questions were quite difficult, but at least the one on Automata and Formal Languages (at 1:13) was pretty straight-forward. The first questions are just basic definitions, and as for G1 and G2, they produce almost the same languages, except that G1 can produce an empty word, whereas G2 cannot. You can see the equivalence by noting that in G2, X and Y just produce single letters, so you can replace the X's and Y's with a's and b's. Then, replace Z by Ta, and you get S -> aTa | bTa, T -> Ta | Tb | c, which is nearly the same as G1, except for the e (empty).

At least for medicine, fact-retention is significantly more relevant than in more creative/theoretical degrees, so examinations (I feel) are more relevant to the actual requirements of the job. I'm currently studying Engineering and the exams feel completely irrelevant to the work. I understand the necessity for knowing the maths/physics/chemistry fundamentals, but the questions are always phrased from the perspective of maths/physics/chemistry rather than engineering. i.e. "Use laplace transformations to solve the following second-order resonant ODEs" It's a maths question that's relevant to my overall understanding, but it isn't applied to any real world situation, so if I encounter a future situation in my future job where I may need to use a laplace transform then the exam questions haven't tested me on making the connection between problem->laplace. It's not a very good example, but I feel like this is probably a shared situation with a lot of different degrees. Now that google exists and software can and will do the majority of heavy lifting in calculations, surely the ability to identify the process of solving an overall problem is far more important than the ability to just solve individual equations. Yet exam questions seem to focus primarily on the latter. Anyway, rant over. I've just finished my exams so I'm angry 😂

Hi Tibees, I wish you can have a look at Malaysian UEC higher mathematics syllabus. it is a secondary school syllabus.

I got as far as learning trigonometry before I reached my limit in math. This material is well beyond my comprehension.

Amazing how a pure person can just be themselves, and people just flock to their presence in admiration.

Such exams are useful for testing what knowledge was gained, and to check understanding of principles, topics, and mathematical rigour by asking for proofs to be derived, but beyond that it does not help the student to necessarily THINK independently, form new and interesting concepts, apply what they learned to new problems, or even challenge the status quo. One thing I found as a student of mathematics is it helped me to think analytically about problems and problem-solving, but it didn't turn me into a mathematical genius. I wouldn't even consider myself average, and studied as a "mature student" for my own interest/benefit rather than for the purpose of obtaining a job requiring heavy use of advanced mathematical concepts. IMHO, the people who go on to be the "heavy weights" in such disciplines were already destined to do so, regardless of their academic background.

I solved section 1 To compute the continued fraction expansion of V29, we can use the following algorithm: 1. Set a_0 = floor(sqrt(29)) = 5. 2. Let x_0 = 29 and y_0 = 5. 3. For each integer k >= 1, compute a_k = floor((sqrt(x_{k-1}) + y_{k-1}) / (x_{k-1} - y_{k-1}^2)). 4. Compute x_k = (x_{k-1} - y_{k-1}^2) / a_k and y_k = a_k * x_k - y_{k-1}. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until x_k = 1. The resulting continued fraction expansion of sqrt(29) is [5; 2, 1, 1, 2, 10]. To find integers z and y satisfying a^2 - 29y^2 = -1, we can use the theory of Pell equations. The fundamental solution to this equation is (a, y) = (5, 2). The general solution is given by: a_n + y_n sqrt(29) = (5 + 2sqrt(29))^n, where n is an integer. Therefore, we can find z and y by computing: a_n = (5 + 2sqrt(29))^n + (5 - 2sqrt(29))^n / 2, y_n = (5 + 2sqrt(29))^n - (5 - 2sqrt(29))^n / 2sqrt(29). For example, if we take n = 2, we get: a_2 = 169, y_2 = 39. Therefore, the integers z and y satisfying a^2 - 29y^2 = -1 are z = 169 and y = 39.

One of the arguments against a high-pressure exam like this which students take a year or two to prepare for is that it uses up the best years of their lives when they could be getting to grips with the growing points in their field. It seems that no one discovers (or invents) anything really ground-breaking in pure maths much after the age of 25: so a Senior Wrangler has limited time to do his stuff. Other countries have this sort of exam, calling for expertise in quickly answering trick questions, placed at the entry point to engineering courses in India and China and for the Grandes Écoles in France.

I dont know about others but you have been successfull to convey the massege of loving science to at least one person .May god bless you .

Ahh she is a little busy but she is concerned about you so she told me to pass it on to you that she solves them herself.

Muchas gracias 😃

Long time fan of yours..... when you decide to move on from math (or maybe never, lol), you should do voice-over work - just love listening to you.

Brilliant!

Is a negative score possible because then I think I would find my score there.

Tobi, I hope you'll talk aboutf the notoriously difficult Lev Landau's "Theoretical Minimum" test for young theoretical physicists. I believe they had to pass this test to start a doctorate in his department. And also take an exam at one of the elite french institutions the Ecole Normale Supérieure and the Ecole Polytechnique.

Thank you.

Your voice is so soothing

hey I actually understood a question (and how to do it) in the 1841 paper! I got x=2. I don't know if that's right because I think it's standard grade credit maths so I haven't done it in 10 years but I more or less knew how to do it

Hard exam, but not as bad as those exams with philosophical essay questions

Hi I've watched your content about toughest exams for a while. Can you please cover Sri Lankan Examination too? It's called G.C.E Advanced Level (Try to go for the Physical science section in it). We have Physics Chemistry Combined Maths , Biology paper. Can you cover G.C.E Advanced Level Physics Exam paper too? (I think it's pretty tough tbh)
