Talk:Mathematical Tripos

message: No (explicit) mention of the distinctive Part 111...
:True. This was mostly about the ancient history, for which I have a reliable scholarly source. I did Part III myself, but the memories aren't all good (John Conway's exam paper contained a technical term not defined in his course ...). Charles Matthews 09:41, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Oddly, this official history of Physics  at Cam gives details about the Maths Tripos that I've never heard before. I prob won't have time to work on this article for a while, so be my guest... JackyR 20:39, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  I know they're physicists, but... 

message: Arguably, there's no point in making a more thorough Tripos Outline - but, for the benefit of a more complex and comprehensive Wikipedia article, I've added some mention of the specifics of the Part IA Tripos material.  
This wikipedia article should motivate the creation of the following articles : 
1) An article discussing the Mathematics Tripos Exam.  
2) An article discussing some of the courses within the different parts of the Tripos.  
3) An article outlining what the courses cover.  
and, most importantly : 
4) An article outlining the CATAM project, what it is, what students produce, and why it is soooooo much fun.
:I agree that those things should be included, but they should be included all in this article rather than spinning off dozens of sub-articles; an article specifically on (say) one of the courses would quite rightly end up getting deleted as not notable.  Keep it to this article.  -- simxp (talk) 22:00, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As it is the section on specific structure of the Tripos is not at all notable enough for Wikipedia. This is information that should remain in the student course guide, not on an international encyclopedia. Anyone else think this section should be deleted? Imagine if every university had its own article for every course it ran, it would be ridiculous. CATAM is a homework assignment. It does not warrant any mention.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.232.255.4 (talk) 18:00, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  CATAM is perhaps more significant than we give it credit – according to its creator, Robert D. Harding, it's one of the first computer-based courses in Britain. --jftsang 09:14, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: More Thorough Tripos Outline

message: I have moved this page from 'Cambridge Mathematical Tripos' to 'Mathematical Tripos', because as far as I am aware, there is no other course by this name outside of Cambridge. --jftsang 08:58, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
