Lecture notes: Week 1, week 2, week 3, and weeks 4-6(vector calculus). DISCLAIMER: These notes are liable to be full of mistakes, typos, crossings out and terrible handwriting. They were not designed to be published, but am happy to do so following a request. I strongly urge students to continue to take notes in the lectures if they are able.

Past exam papers

Download and print exam papers from previous years. Be aware that the syllabus may have changed, making some questions no longer relevant to the course you are taking. The number of questions may also have changed.

A Mock paper to service the 2011 paper can be constructed from questions 2, 3 and 4 from the 2010 paper together with question 4 from the 2002 paper. Please also note that in 2011, each question will be marked out of 20.

Solutions will NOT be available for these exams.
