The school of what??
 
I was in SPED for math. As complicated as we ever got was division. And my teachers were thrilled when I learned that!
So sorry I missed that! Not! And I seem to be doing OK in life without it!
Sounds thrilling! Oh what William does for England! At least he also gets to have fun with the kids from CBT that day....
 
The School of Pythagoras is the oldest building of St Johns College Cambridge built near year 1200. Currently it's the college archive center. Thanks Wikipedia ?

Pythagoras theorem is a2 + b2=c2 where a, b , c are sides of a triangle

I was not in special SpEd for math,,but I fond it next to impossible, and quite useless. Honestly, unless a person is going into medicine, computer science/any science field, or engineering, anything beyond the basics is a waste of time. I'm not using algebra, or trigonometry in my field, or in life, and like you, I'm doing just fine. For William's sake, I hope the event is not too boring. Heaven knows I'd be falling asleep after about five seconds at anything math/science-related.

Oh, I remember that formula! I'm thankful for it being easier than the quadratic equation.

A Cambridge college will welcome back one of its former students this week, to officially re-open one of its most famous buildings.

Many students like to return to their college after graduating from university, but for one former scholar it's a case of business before pleasure when he visits on Thursday.

Prince William completed a 10-week agricultural course at St John's College last year, to prepare him for taking on his inheritance of the Duchy of Cornwall.

The course saw him commute to Cambridge for lectures and seminars with fellow PhD students, on private a course designed specifically for him.

It is quite clear that William has substantially stepped up the number of public engagements he carries out

I agree. And even when he doesn't do more engagements they have become more "heavy" or cermonial.

I agree with you. He has been doing more in terms of things that will be part of his duties as monarch. I think investiture are probably enjoyable to William since he's amazing with people.

Given the venue, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, this is the kind of language I would expect. Not sure he's sending signals

Prince William today gave a strong signal that he wants Britain to stay in the European Union, telling civil servants that uniting with international allies was the 'bedrock of our security and prosperity'.

The Duke of Cambridge said Britain had long been an 'outward looking nation' and said the 'ability to unite in common action with other nations is essential' in an 'increasingly turbulent world'.

And he all but named the EU as he referenced international organisations such as the United Nations, Nato and 'elsewhere' as institutions that help Britain affirms its 'commitment to working in partnership with others'.

Prince William was presenting awards to members of the Foreign Office's Diplomatic Academy.

:previous: I agree - no signals re Europe. What else was he supposed to talk about. Just media spinning.

we can work in partnership with Europe without being in the EU, there is the Commonwealth, China, US etc.

And whatever the outcome, we would still be part of NATO.

I am so tired of UK media giving opinion and spin in news articles instead of facts. :bang:
 
Look, he doesn’t even mention the EU; he avoids it because his staff obviously realise that Royals should not get involved in elections and referenda. He talks about being outward looking but working in partnership with allies.

Sure, and Brexiteers believe that just as much as those who are convinced Britain should stay in. The outers simply take a different view of what our relationship with those allies, in Europe at least, should be.

So, if you are in Britain today and you hear someone say, on the television news or in the pub, that Prince William has come out one way or the other on the EU referendum, just say no, no he hasn’t.
