Exercises

Here are copies of each of the exercise sheets given out so far this year, and of any solution sheets associated with them.

Coursework assignments

There will be two assessed courseworks this year. Each must be submitted to the general office (C108) with a completed cover sheet. From previous years:

Lecture Notes

The lectures will be based on the following set of notes.

Past Exams

Important note for students regarding past exam papers: Past exam papers are published for illustrative purposes only. They can be used as a study aid but do not provide a definitive guide to either the format of the next exam, the topics that will be examined or the style of questions that will be set. Students should not expect their own exam to be directly comparable with previous papers. Remember that a degree requires an amount of self-study, reading around topics, and lateral thinking – particularly at the higher level modules and for higher marks. Specific guidance for your exam will be given by the lecturer.
