Assessment Detail
This module will be examined jointly with MA2332
in a 3-hour examination in Trinity term,
except that those taking just one of the
two modules will have a 2 hour examination.
Continuous assessment will contribute 10% to the final grade for the module at the annual
examination session and at supplementals where applicable.
