Dammit - if they'd been teaching me A level maths, instead of the two teachers who just left us to get on with a book, I'm sure I'd have passed it.

I recognise a matrix on the back of the first girl on the left, and the integration/differentiation, but not what's on the other girls...

Oh yeah, and I agree they are hot - I assume they are geek girls, and not just the writer, and I'd love to get intellectual with them (and perhaps something else beginning with 'i')...

I sympathise: it took me two attempts to get an E.

I suspect that they're all wearing particle physics equations: from my A-level physics, B, ϵ, and μ0 together in one equation implies Something To Do With Electromagnetic Fields™, and ħ is Dirac's Constant—a number that comes up a lot in quantum mechanics; also, searching for gamma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_%28disambiguation%29#Upper_case.2C_.CE.93) eventually reveals that the left-most lady is adorned with Christoffel symbols (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christoffel_symbol).
