Lecture notes

PDF download HTML version

Both versions of the notes contain links to various interactive demonstrations (described below) and videos.

There is also a separate survey of examples mentioned in the course.

Interactive demonstrations

There is a set of interactive demonstrations explaining many of the ideas in the course. I will talk through these in lectures, there are attached YouTube videos, and you can try them yourself at other times. These are experimental and under development. I welcome comments about the extent to which they are comprehensible, useful or interesting.

Past exam papers

The course structure was reasonably stable from 2021-25. Below you will also find a large number of questions from earlier years. Some of these are compatible with the 2021-25 version of the course and some are not. I have also provided a document explaining which material is examinable.

As well as revising the examinable material, you should make sure that you are familiar with all the examples in the course. These are summarised in the survey of examples.
