Mathematics Moderatorship 2002-03

Junior Freshman Year (Group I)

All courses must be taken.

Senior Freshman Year (Group II)

Courses 211, 221 and 231 are required and 3 others must be chosen.

Sophister Years (Group III)

In the Junior Sophister year Mathematics students take 5 group III courses or the two group II courses they did not take in the Senior Freshman year together with 4 group III courses.

In the Senior Sophister year, students take 5 group III courses.

This year's group III options are as follows.

Mathematics in Two-Subject Moderatorship 2002-03 (for the all combinations except Mathematics + Economics)

Junior Freshman Year

All courses must be taken.

Senior Freshman Year

All courses must be taken.

Junior Sophister Year

In the Junior Sophister year, students take courses 211 and 221 and one other courses chosen from 212, 231, 241, 251, 261.

Senior Sophister Year

In the Senior Sophister year, students who continue with Mathematics (rather than majoring in their other subject) take 3 courses except for those in the combination Mathematics and Philosophy who take 4 courses. Courses are chosen from those of 212, 231, 241, 251, 261 not taken in the Junior Sophister year and group III courses of the single honour course in Mathematics for which they have the prerequisites.

Mathematics (for the combination Mathematics + Economics) in Two-Subject Moderatorship 2002-03

There is a special programme for the combination Mathematics and Economics, where Mathematical courses normally within Economics are replaced by more substantial courses in Mathematics in the Junior Freshman Year, and Mathematical Economics courses may be taken as part of the Mathematics programme in the Sophister years.

Junior Freshman Year

Students take course 111, 121, 131 and 151. Courses 111, 121 and 131 make up the Mathematics result at the end of the year, while course 151 goes towards the Economics result.

Senior Freshman Year

Junior Sophister Year

In the Junior Sophister year, students take course 381 and two other courses chosen from 212, 231, 261 and 262. Some group III courses of the single honour course in Mathematics may be possible apart from 381.

Senior Sophister Year

In the Senior Sophister year, students who continue with Mathematics (rather than majoring in Economics) take 3 courses. Courses are chosen from 212, 231, 261 and group III courses of the single honour course in Mathematics for which the prerequisites have been satisfied. Economics course E4.09 may be taken as one of the 3 courses.

Junior Sophister Year

Students take courses 342, 432, 441 and either 442 or 443.

Senior Sophister Year

Students take course 343, 443 plus 2 others from courses 442, 444, 446 and 412.
