Hello
I'm a first year undergraduate at Cambridge and I am still stressed out about STEP (even though I have done it and won't need to do it again...strange). I was lucky enough to get help from the pilot of this last year. I am GaussIndahouse. I mainly choose Gauss because his name rhymes with Indahouse but he's known as the "prince of mathematics" because he worked on everything from statistics (Gaussian distribution) to Electromagnetism which I guess is also pretty cool.

Heya! I'm a first year Cambz mathmo as well; the memories of STEP are still scarred into my brain! (That said... overall, it was an enjoyable experience, as it hopefully will be for all of you!). I've been 'helping out' on other web-based STEP forums/threads for an odd two years or so now. :-)

Anyways, a fun problem (do-able with elementary methods): does there exist a function $f: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ such that $\displaystyle f^{f(n)} (n) = n+1?$ (here $f^k$ is $f$ applied $k$ times).

Hi there! I'm a second year maths student, and I like pure maths.

I chose Mary Cartwright because she was fundamental in founding Chaos Theory, which I got interested in after a maths talk a few weeks ago.
I first came across her when I did a question about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_π_is_irrational#Cartwright.27s_proof. It's a really cool result, and it was the first time I'd been able to understand a proof of it (only A Level maths required).

Hi y'all!
I'm very much a pure mathematician. I actually ended up taking STEP twice; I failed all my university offers the first time, but luckily Cambridge were somewhat forgiving! It's hard, but with enough work, it's definitely achievable.
I chose Bowditch as one of the most notable Welsh mathematicians, aside from Robert Recorde; most of his work, you probably won't meet for a fair while, but he solved Conway's Angel problem.
Best of luck!
