Peter Cameron's list of mathematical notation
Some terminology you will need
Your own lecture notes are the definitive guide to what is in the course. Anything lectured which is not explicitly described as non-examinable may appear in the test or exam. The notes which will appear below as the course progresses are a summary only of what was lectured. They are a slightly modified version of notes given by Robert Johnson when he taught this module in 2008. They should be a useful guide to the most important concepts and results. However, they are do not contain all of the examples or explanation I gave in lectures. These are NOT a substitute for your own notes.
