Academic Learning Centre

I would urge anyone having any problems with material that isn’t being addressed in the tutorials to use the Academic Learning Centre. As you can see the timetable is quite generous. You will get best results if you come to the helpers there with specific questions. You could also win a tablet device if you enter a competition that they are running.

Math.Stack Exchange

If you find yourself stuck and for some reason feel unable to ask me the question you could do worse than go to the excellent site math.stackexchange.com. If you are nice and polite, and show due deference to these principles you will find that your questions are answered promptly. For example this ‘discussion’ about counterexamples.

Test 2: Notice and Sample

Test 2 will take place on Thursday 28 November at 17:00, in B228. Please find a sample to give you an idea of the format. I will give you a copy of this on Monday. The test will also come with a set of tables and formulae which you will get with Monday’s notes.

Week 9

In Week 9 we started our work on probability after looking at some more non-homogenous second order linear differential equations with boundary conditions. We have so far just looked at the Binomial distribution.

Week 10
