Index

Jump to:

Organization

The module runs for the first half (12 weeks) of the academic year and comprises of three lectures and one tutorial per week (total of 44 hours contact time).

Lectures take place Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11am in Hamilton building, theather 3 (McN3).

Assessment

Weekly continuous assessment together with a team project contributes 20% towards the final grade with the end-of-year final written two-hour examination contributing 80%.

Tutorials (exercise classes contributing to the final mark) will start in the second week of teaching. Group lists for tutorials will be available in due course.

Please make sure to hand your exercises before the tutorial starts.

Help with math questions

Of course, every student is encouraged to ask any question about the material covered in my lectures either after the lectures or directly in my office in the Lloyd building 2.20.

The school of maths also run a maths helproom. Everyday between 1pm and 2pm you can find people in the new seminar room of the school of maths (off the Hamilton Building) that will help you with your questions about math (not to do your homework).

Textbook

There are several copies in the Hamilton library. There exist different versions and editions of the same book or parts of it, with different subtitles. Some of them only contain the first 8 or 9 chapters and are subtitled “Single Variable”. This is sufficient for the course I am teaching, but some material needed for the second semester (1E2) is missing. If you intend to buy the book probably is better that you make sure to buy an edition that covers both 1E1 and 1E2. There is also the possibility to buy an on-line version.
