I hope 2011 is a happy and successful year for you.

 

By the way, did you know that 2011 is a prime number?

It is also the sum of eleven consecutive prime numbers:

157 + 163 + 167 + 173 + 179 + 181 + 191 + 193 [...]]]> Happy New Year! I hope 2011 is a happy and successful year for you.

If you would like to look around the new site, feel free to do so. Alternatively you may prefer to go back to the current version of the site, which has more material online.

Moving date:

The site will be upgraded during the weekend of the 5th-6th of March. (I’ve delayed the upgrade slightly because there is an OCR GCSE module exam on 1st March. I don’t want to cause unnecessary problems for the people who are using the revision pages on the old site)

Apologies in advance – you may find that some sections of the site don’t work properly whilst the upgrade is being completed. I’ll do my best to keep any interruptions to a minimum.
