Don't know much about the GRE subject exam.

Okay.... Thank you for the swift response sir.

Quant Guide

Materials: Manhattan set of 8 strategy guides, Manhattan 5lb and GRE Official guide.

If you are a mathematics guru, you can skip 1 and 2.


1)I will advise you start with the 8 strategy guide, it might look simple however, the purpose of the using the book is to learn different strategies and tricks needed to ace the quant section so try and endure to finish it even if it seem boring. If you are solving any question and you noticed you have spent 1 minute and have not gotten the answer, it simply means you are not using the right strategy. Remember, GRE is not testing your mathematical prowess directly but to assess your smartness, accuracy, speed and efficiency. Take note of your weakness as you are progressing.

2) Afterwards, proceed to Manhattan 5lb. Don’t be daunted due to the size, it only contains 23 quant topics which you can finish in two weeks if you are going at a pace of two topics per day. Remember, it’s all about strategies. Watch out for your performance in your weakness noted in (1). You can also essay the advance quants questions in the book if you are targeting a perfect score and a 50% score implies you are good to go but it is not important.

3) I will highly suggest you take some practice tests e.g Power prep 1, Manhattan, Magoosh or Princeton.

4) The next step would be dependent on your weakness in the practice test. You should be able to deduce if you are lacking in some topics or your accuracy and/or speed is low.

a) If you are lacking in some topics, I will advise revising 8 strategy guides and solving questions from other mathematics prep materials like Princeton 1014 questions, Barron or Nova.

b) If your weakness is your low speed, I would suggest that you revised the 8 strategy guide because it simply means you lack strategies and tricks.

5) Wrap it up with the official guide. The chapter on mathematics review is still the best for revision. Don’t trivialize it.

6) Finish it up with Power prep 2

TIPS for acing quants

1. Be open-minded and don’t forget to insert these numbers: -1, -½, 0, ½, and 1 when solving quantitative comparison questions. There are some questions that would require you to insert a large positive or negative numbers however, you will be able to discern them with practice.

2. In your practice tests, I would advise you don’t review your answers and move to the next section even if you have some minutes left. Make it your habit and your accuracy will improve tremendously.

3. Before solving any question, the first step is to read the question and understand it, then take note of any constraint inherent in the question such as whether the parameter is an integer or not, positive or negative, whether the parameter is a square which might nullify any negative answer etc and lastly, write the parameter you are looking for in an equation form before solving to avoid error. For example, "if you are told to find how old shola would be in the next two years", you should probably write S+2 somewhere and put question mark in front of it before solving the question and after finding your S, you can then check back for the constraint and the expected answer. This tip is very helpful and would reduce error drastically.

4. The God factor.

Note: They are not sacrosanct, just my opinion.

Good morning sir
Please what would advice for a subject base test (Mathematics to be precise)? I'm finding it difficult to come across any useful information.

winsomelady:

Thanks for the kind comments. Hope it helps. If it does, then my efforts are not in vain

Smiles.
My coconut head is enjoying and learning every knowledge on display here.

Time to improve on my Mathematics skills, great job

Richiez:
Good to see that this thread is still active... with fresh gurus trooping in...
There are plans to organize a math quiz next month.

Chisos

Long over due.

Please help out.

Don't mind all these people advertising discharge alternatives.

I have ONE question for you pls

Bros pls, are you married?
If yes go to ur wife if the urge is there.

if No
Don't bother about the way to discharge anything or that something will go wrong if you don't get the thing out.

Physiology has explained to us what happens to unused sperm but most brainwashed people you will meet here will tell u scary stories full of falsehood.

This topic is one of the very many reasons why I am angry with people who made biology optional in our secondary school curriculum. Walahi, everyone needs basic knowledge of biology.

I actually did Biology, maybe I missed out on the Physiology part.
What does it say please?

fav444:
Don't mind all these people telling you to find dirty alternatives.

Thank you, their comments were actually funny.

Note: These are actually my thoughts not a real scenerio as painted here.

I was trying to recall the last time I "cum" and it dawn on me that I haven't for some months now.

The major means by which I "cum" was through wet dreams. For some months, I have realized that I am a lucid dreamer who can control what happens in the dream. Instead of engaging in "activities" that can help, I will rather control my body not to give in.

From the little research I did, I was made to believe that the major effect of this in the long run is prostate cancer.
Till on the research, I was also informed that spinal cord injury, erectile dysfunction are also major causes of concern.


I just want clarification from health practitioners on
1. Should I be worried?
2. What are the causes of this "act"?
3. Possible solutions.
4. The way forward.


Please enlighten a confuse mind.

Livebygrace:

Pls, where did u check for Maths? I would like to knw if u snapped it because I am from Maths as well. Is there any PG awardee on the Maths list? Kindly reply me pls.

With the HOD, you can ask Mr. Olumide. Yes, there is.

mercytripletz:
Who has seen the list in UI? I went to student Affairs, My faculty, every possible place but no news. My friends from Faculties of Science, Pharmacy and Arts went too but the same story. Why is it that only students from the college of medicine have seen theirs whereas students from other faculties haven't seen at all? This is cheating.
If only students from College of medicine were awarded, at least officers at Student Affairs should have told us instead of saying they have not gotten any list yet.

Check with your department, I have seen Faculty of Technology and Mathematics department.

spenca:


Thank you so much
But the thing is I do not get the steps taken after formulating the LP problem sir. Can you pls explain how you went about it ?

I'm sorry for the late reply, been busy with examination.

The first thing is to represents the inequalities on a graph paper.

The second thing is to mark out the area or section where all the points are intersected.

The third thing is to get the boundary values of the marked portion.

Substitute your points.

Pick the optimal since it's maximazation problem.

All yours are taken, thank you all.

corner points using graphical method
(0,0), (0,350), (800/3 , 0) (50,325) (orange, lemon)


z=50(4)+325(5).

This is the right solution.

thankyouJesus:

Adding surplus variables
a+2b+c=700.
5a+4b+d=1700.
3a+2b+e=800.
z-4a-5b=0.

Using simplex algorithm, the answer is


calculating

The optimal solutiin:
z=2000.
b=400.
This does not satisfy the first inequality. Will try with graphical method.

thankyouJesus:

let a represents orange,
b represents fanta
Max z= 4a + 5b
subject to
a+2b <_ 700.
5a+4b <_ 1700.
3a+2b <_ 800.

Adding surplus variables
a+2b+c=700.
5a+4b+d=1700.
3a+2b+e=800.
z-4a-5b=0.

Using simplex algorithm, the answer is


calculating

spenca:


A bottling company produces Fanta orange and Fanta lemon. Each bottle of Fanta orange requires 1 hour of machining , 5 hours of labour and 3KG of material while each bottle of Fanta lemon requires 2 hours of machining 4hours of labour and 2KG of material. The bottling company has 700 hours of machining ,1700 hours of labour and 800KG of materials available to produce the two types of drink.

Formulate and solve the linear programming problem if the profit on every bottle of Fanta orange and Fanta lemon are N4 and N5 respectively .

Here we go

let a represents orange,
b represents fanta
Max z= 4a + 5b
subject to
a+2b <_ 700.
5a+4b <_ 1700.
3a+2b <_ 800.

Are you knowledgeable in Linear programming ?

Yes I am, just seeing the question, will try when back from church.

To God be the Glory!!!

I got 4.95 GPA. Better is not good enough, the best is yet to come. It can only get better by God's grace.
Thanks all.

Chisos, na you o.
Baba, show me the way na, I wan be like you.

mathefaro:
just as some people have rightly said, considering your scores and the cut off mark for mathematics in recent years, you're good to go. Wish you all the best.

And the god of Mathematics has spoken.

babsir:
Good morning guys, please do I have a shot at admission with jamb point =247 and olevel=2B3 and 3C5?

I intend to apply for mathematics, tho am yet to change institution from unilag to UI.

Why do I wantu change to UI? Well unilag requires further maths as part of the 5 olevel core subject which I do not have hence my reason for changing. I hope UI won't require same?

Thanks and have a wonderful day

" UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN
OFFICE OF THE VICE-CHANCELLOR
LETTER TO ALL STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN
Greatest UItes!
I welcome you back on campus from the vacation that was necessitated by the disruption of academic activities on campus during the last week of the month of May. In spite of the contrary readings to the intention of the Senate, Council and Management, it was a decision taken to protect the lives and interest of a very special class of people on campus; the students.

I cannot over emphasize the fact that your lives and interests remain of utmost importance to the University Management and we will not hesitate to go to lengths to ensure that you live and learn in a safe, conducive and inspiring environment.

Without doubt, students are bound to have their contributions, observations, complaints even grievances. As you constitute the majority of the inhabitants of the University community , you are entitled to draw the attention of the necessary bodies as well as lodge your complaints to the appropriate quarters in time particularly on topical issues that border on municipal services such as electricity and water which are vital to your well-being. Issues arising from both are being addressed to the best of our ability but when there are complaints it will be appropriate to lodge such through the relevant establishments.

Security is also another key issue particularly because of the menace of terrorism and the prevailing national situation. You would be expected to put on your identity cards to prevent the incursion of terrorists and interlopers on campus.

This current administration respects the right of students to protest and has no policy that enforces a culture of silence. As students of the first and the best university in the country, our ultimate goal is to raise world class scholars, professionals and executives who are to thrive on dialogue, administrative processes and procedures instead of violent protests which usually leads to danger for the innocent among the students.

I reassure you once again of my goodwill and genuine commitment to your well-being. Members of the University community are aware, and I will like to reiterate, that I am available, reachable and accessible to everyone, especially the students. Irrespective of diverse opinions, some of which are obviously tainted, I like to see myself as your father, friend and mentor, all in a bid to ensure that you excel in your various fields of study. I welcome you back to the rest of the semester which has been interrupted but which with some delibrateness can still be engaged to yield the best in spite of its limitations.

The university calendar has been adjusted to accommodate the disruption and it is my utmost desire that you settle in speedily to make the most of the rest of the semester.

Part of my vision for students is to extend the frontiers of knowledge and create best practice in exposure for leadership training and professional development. All of these are being put in place by the University Management and I am certain that everyone can find a place within the scheme.

Once again I welcome you back to a most rewarding rest of the semester and success in your examinations.

Thank you and God bless.

This is all we've got for now sir!

Is it my date or the date on this article is wrong?

TheHistorian:


Look at who is here.

The notorious famous ThankYouJesus of the 2014 UI aspirants thread.

Long time sir!!

Chisos is Lowd, see adjective wey person use describe me.

mathefaro:
the only things that could stop an aspirant who has scaled through the cut off include things like wrong subject combo, false Waec results and forces from the village(if such things even exist). That's how transparent ui's admission process is

See my boss o, tuale baba. In thick Ibadan accent, thiri gbosa for you, gbosa, gbosa, gbosa. Maximum respect.

Going back to observing mode.

I can also help out. My area of expertise include but not limited to network, transport/transhipment, project management, and modeling. Still a student of University of Ibadan, Mathematics Department as my brother above.

Nice work sir. This lemma is based on formula method of solving quadratic equation through multiple substitutions.

If f(x) = ax² + bx + c,
f'(x) = 2ax + b,
2ax = f'(x) - b...... and so on. Welldone sir.

DanjaNinja:


Your ambition is impressive. That said, seat tight while i compose a befitting response to your inquiry. is that okay?

Hello sir, thank you for your words sir.

happyday:

Waaaooooh! I like this! Your aims are high, and I think asking before it's time is a pointer that you're closer to your dreams than you realize.
Yeah, sit tight and finish Maths UI with a first class. This is THE MOST IMPORTANT, for now. Maths PhD is not as structured as BS Maths, in that math research is so broad, and you'll be starting out with a blank plate, for you to go figure it out. Whereas in your undergraduate days, you generally have an idea of the proofs, methods and solutions. The best way is to finish among the top 1% of your graduating class, preferably the best graduating.

How?

Treat each class, each test, each assignment, each quiz, each exam, each term paper with all seriousness. With time, that lofty dream of an 8.0 (am I right) will materialize.

And as for preparation for a PhD at top US schools, don't fret about taking tests for now. When it's time, you'll need to take the GRE general test, GRE Math Subject test and TOEFL/IELTS. But, my brother, for now, you need to be focused on that 4-year stint at UI. But to whet your appetite, check these sites for admissions requirements and FAQ for Maths Graduate Adm at MIT.

https://math.mit.edu/academics/grad/admission/index.php

And this is a short FAQ:
https://math.mit.edu/academics/grad/admission/faq

In summary, they want to see that you have:
1. Consistently aced your undergraduate classes (aka 85% and above)
2. Demonstrated interest in Math Research to your lecturers, enough for them to later help you write glowing hot letters of recommendation on your behalf
3. Mastered your coursework excellently enough to score very highly on the GRE Math Subject test (MIT requires this, and yes, it's different from the GRE general test)

And that should do it. You won't have to worry about tuition, once you can get enough funds to apply and fly to the US.
Plus, the choices available to you after PhD are truly limitless.

Good luck!

I am always on my toes working my way up. I appreciate you sir.
