This is a linear two year course covering Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics, thus giving all students a good grounding in a variety of Mathematical areas. The course emphasises understanding and application of new theory. The final examinations consist entirely of problems to solve, rather than reproduction of lesson notes. So, although you will undoubtedly make notes as you progress through the two year course, the most important aspect of your studies will be practising solving problems and applying the theory covered. To be successful, you must have, or develop, a willingness to tackle questions and become involved with the work. Good students regularly use their private study periods to see staff for one-to-one consultation and this practice is actively encouraged.
