You mean 'this' "Mathematical Methods" class?
http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/gio10/nst_notes.pdf Yeah, that's just what I need. A one semester applied course that gives a short, watered down treatment of the major points of a half dozen low-level undergrad courses.
And I'm sorry if you weren't motivated and ambitious enough that you already had a good idea what you wanted to specialize in by the time you graduated high school, but some of us were. I can guarantee you that knowledge of Theoretical Geophysics or Fluid Dynamics would be totally useless to me professionally.
>Don't worry though, you probably wouldn't have been accepted.
Hurr hurr. Enjoy everyone you ever meet for the rest of your life instantly hate you because you feel the need to brag about having gone to Cambridge every other sentence.
BTW, those tests are nothing to whine about. If you're having trouble with those, you may want to rethink your career choice while you have the chance. I was surprised at how basic the questions were, even on the level III exams. At least half the problems on this one (enough to pass, btw) are just remembering proofs from the book:
