Admissions interview - typical maths question.

Imagine the stress of the camera AND the interview combined. Co ngrat to that girl !

Everyone here is such a nerd you will probably not even get in lol

This is soo easy. Is that a Masters question?

Seems far too basic. I was asked crazy stochastic calculus question. Even though most do not even study that until masters level, let alone degree. To be fair, they were not wanting an exact answer but just thought process.

Cambridge interview chemistry

No way the Math one is that easy. I'm 95% sure that they put an easier one for video purposes.

I am quite impervious to what women think about the Math Question.
You know nervousness is actually the the first reason why I would fail the Cambridge Math interview.
However hesitation is part of the Cambridge tutorial.
In fact the School is obviously beyond the reach of those of us who went to State and Religious Schools.

The fact that the woman is able to write upside down without any problem...

she hasnt seen sinx/x.
is this undergrad interview or what

The nervous laughter cracks me up every time 😂😂

The question is too easy lol

i would walk straight out of the interview

Am I the only one who thought that the question was a bit easy? Like not that difficult. I am also a highschool student, and I had never seen this question before. How I proceeded was, first noticing the fact that the function is an even function, meaning it is symmetric about the y axis, and we don't need to draw from -2pi to 2pi, we just need to draw from 0 to 2pi, and for -2pi to 0, would be a simple mirror image. Next, I found the points of discontinuity, that being, x=0, we just find the lim sinx/x as x approaches 0, which we know is just 1, now the next fact, we know that sinx<x for x belonging to interval 0 to pi/2, which just be proved by the use of derivatives, now, since sinx<x, sinx/x<1, and since we know that the curve meets y axis at npi, where n is an integer, it just became easy to draw the rest of the graph considering these points.

Sorry but sin(x)/x is a very common question in calculus 1

how would you actually solve these kind of plot the nature of the graph questions?

Me: get up from the seat and exit thru the door

sin(x)=x -> f(x) = 1 foralll x.
Congratulations you are now an employed engineer.

If I ever see question like this, I would make graph of the equation and see what that looks like.

sin0/0 will be a problem and so the function becomes undefined there and as a result you cannot draw the graph of undefined unless you are Ramanujan(the man who knew infinity)
Just joking😂Love from India💝👍

Awesome criteria to look for😊😇

p = np 7 problem solution 777

Wat, pieces of a function? I have never heard a function ever being described like that. NB. sin(x) / x is quite a common of the 'trick' question. Sitting there gawking at the student expecting them to answer the question doesn't help. Let them explore the problem at their leisure. You can almost feel the tension and nerves in the room. The establishment is so entrenched in its ways, that it's all wrong. Rubbish!!

What utter bullshit this is. The interviewers only have to check if the candidate attended Eton or Harrow or Rugby and if so, they are in, regardless of their interview. But if the candidate was very bright but attended Smegma College in Worksop they'd have no chance.....

but sinx/x=1...

My interview is this Wednesday at 5:15pm... can’t wait but also so nervous!

It’s very difficult to do math on the computer, how is that going to be solecrd?
