If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the Β£232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the Β£14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

With the start of a new year, I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread to share the resources on Corbettmaths and how they will be incredibly useful for students (and their teachers) preparing for exams in 2025 🧡

In case you aren't in the extensive maths-nerd bubble, here are some nice number properties of 2025 that "everyone" is talking about:
* 2025 is a square number (45^2), the only square year most of us will live through
* 45=20+25, so (20+25)^2 = 2025
* 1^3+2^3+3^3+4^3+5^3+6^3+7^3+8^3+9^3 = 2025

Anyone teaching summations of series next year should bookmark this.

Given that 45 is the ninth triangular number, this must mean that

2025 = 1Β³+2Β³+3Β³+4Β³+5Β³+6Β³+7Β³+8Β³+9Β³

Unless someone does a Futurama, none of us will be around for the sum of the first ten cubes.

I always talk about hypothesis testing in terms of a court case. Whereas the prosecution must find sufficient evidence to prove guilt, they must find sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
