Additional material

The course changed a little in 2001. However, there is still a considerable overlap with earlier versions. The lecture notes for the old course can be found here . Moreover, the wealth of material to be found on the old course homepage may be useful. Note that some of the files there are in .ps format; you should read the notes on printing at the bottom of the page if in any doubt.

Books

Those who would like another exposition of the material in this course (or simply a few more worked examples) may wish to look at some of the following books. Those who like the more abstract side of the course might also consider There is also an excellent free book on Linear Algebra available on the web:

Past examination papers

Actuarial Science students should note that Section A in the 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 papers below contains the Calculus questions sat by Mathematics students; a version of this paper with questions from the Actuarial Science version of that course can be found on the Cass website.

The material covered by this course changed in Autumn 2001. Thus the remaining exam papers contain some questions which are no longer covered by the revised syllabus. However, many of the questions are still relevant.
