6. Course information

7. Literature
8. Lecture notes

The material that will be discussed during the lectures presents a subset of the material available in your module textbook. Weekly lecture notes will be available below, usually before the lecture takes place. Note that these notes are no replacement for attending the lectures! 9. Video recordings of lectures

Starting from 30 January 2013, all lectures are available as video recordings under this link. Unfortunately, as you will see, there is a technical problem: The recordings show the screen display and when I am on the lecturer's rostrum, but they do not show what I am writing on the white boards... Hence, if you wish to use the recordings, I recommend to watch them in conjunction with the lecture notes that you can find above. Please note that these lecture notes are very close to, but not always exactly one-to-one to what I am presenting in my lectures (ad hoc modifications in order to answer questions, etc., are sometimes necessary).

10. Mid-term Test
11. Exam
exammodel solution
sample exam (slightly modified 2012 exam)This is the 2012 exam, suitably adapted to the new syllabus of 2013, which replaced complex variables by first-order differential equations. Most problems have been solved in the revision lecture, other solutions are available as coursework. Here is the full model solution. (For sake of completeness, the original 2012 exam you can find here. To be precise: Questions 1(a), 1(b) and 2 in the 2012 exam about complex variables got replaced in the sample exam by new questions.)
2011This is if you wish to test `the real thing' without being tempted to get help by looking at the model solutions. However, please note that Questions 1(a), 1(b) and 2 involve complex variables, which due to change of syllabus is no material for the 2013 exam anymore.
2010The full model solution is available here. Again, questions 1(a) and 1(b) involve complex variables and are not relevant to the 2013 exam.
2009The full model solution is available here. Again, questions 1(a) and 1(b) involve complex variables and are not relevant to the 2013 exam. Likewise, question 2(a) is not relevant to 2013 due to another change of syllabus.
2008As before, questions 1(a) and 1(b) involve complex variables and are not relevant to the 2013 exam. The second part of question 4 is also not relevant to 2013.
