True, but only in the sense of it's application. The actual exams we do only consist of maths, pretty much exactly the same skill-set is needed to do well in a core maths exam to a mechanics exam.

Neil Patrick Harris an interesting exception to the rule, given that the character he plays on How I Met Your Mother is the biggest womaniser on TV despite being openly out IRL.Woman adore pooves tho: fact.
Nah, seriously, lots of het actors play gay (Hanks won his first Oscar for it IIRC) so why not vice versa?

Never actually watched the show, but an American at work was very put out when I told him that Doogie putted from the rough. He even disputed it (presumably based around his character) until I suggested he Google him.
There's also been a couple of examples of out gay actors playing womanisers in British TV series, Ben Daniels played Finn in Cutting It (which, to my shame, I used to watch
) & Michael French played David Wicks in Eastenders, but no real A List film leading men have ever come out willingly.

Yeah, it's a module that we do in both Maths and Physics, but for all intents and purposes, the stuff that we do is just applied Maths.

Well clearly it's not part of math as a subject - it describes physical laws, not mathematical laws (there is no F=ma law in mathematics). You can't say it's applied math - all of science is basically applied math. I just found it really odd that they teach it in the math curriculum over there - I don't think it belongs there logically.

Well, what you think it is/isn't is quite irrelevant, as I'm talking about it in the context of the UK curriculum.
And why should we listen to you when you can't even spell maths properly?

old article, but was linked to it today

Shocking that something like this can still be used against you, and even worse the employer can see that was the 'offence'

Well I think it'd be a bit confusing that it's not in the Physics curriculum. These are not laws of mathematics...it's not like learning y=mx+b, which is a mathematical relationship....F=ma means nothing in mathematical terms, it's a physical description.

That is the physics curriculum, the maths part is a section of the maths curriculum dealing with application of ideas such as calculating acceleration of an object down a slope of a certain angle
A past paper as an example. No physics knowledge needed, just understand the mathematical principles behind it.

Exactly. Like I said, you also do a mechanics module in A Level Physics, but that approaches it from a much more Physics based direction (obv), with the actual explanation of the principles, rather than the mathematical representation.
