The university has decided that a maths fourth year is now officially equivalent to a taught masters, and allowed people who graduated from it to graduate retrospectively with an MMath, even though it generally regards any degree other than a Bachelor of Arts[1] to be a bizarre newfangled fad :)

The first available date is Sat 30th Apr (the Saturday of the royal wedding weekend), and the maths building and Trinity have both decided to put on a lunch or some talks.

And after some procrastination, I'm going to apply to go, as are a couple of other friends (as atreic suggested ages ago). If anyone else did part three and wants the letters after their name to have "maths" in, you may not be quite too late to apply (although Trinity says, by the 12th at the latest, and I assume I was too late already by the time I got round to it).

I shall be there (in a gown with newly-added doctors' lace) to watch. I shall resist the temptation to see how many graduations I can get to in one day, as [personal profile] atreic says there are exciting things happening at Maths.

I seem to be all booked in now. I'm not sure how compatible Queens' and Trinity will be for seeing each other around the CMS, but it sounded like mild fun :-)

Yes. Although my praelector said that the MMath was less high than the MA, so we'll never get to wear the lovely MMAth hood...
