Core Courses
There are four core courses:
- A1 Mathematical Methods I
- A2 Mathematical Methods II
- B1 Numerical Linear Algebra and Numerical Solution of Differential Equations
- B2 Further Numerical Linear Algebra and Continuous Optimisation
The core courses consist of both lectures and examples classes, and students must attend both. Some preparatory reading relating to the core courses is suggested. Recent past exam papers provide a good source of revision questions. In addition, older past exam papers can be found on the OXAM website. Solutions for papers from 2016 onwards are also available (you will need to be logged into the website to access these).
A1 Mathematical Methods I
The Mathematical Methods I core course consists of 24 lectures in MT as follows:
- The 16 lectures comprising Applied Partial Differential Equations (Professor Andreas Münch), synopsis
- The 8 lectures comprising Supplementary Applied Mathematics (Professor Helen Byrne), synopsis
A2 Mathematical Methods II
The Mathematical Methods II core course consists of 24 lectures in HT as follows:
- The first 8 lectures from the course Nonlinear Dynamics, Bifurcations and Chaos (Professor Radek Erban), synopsis
- The 8 lectures comprising Further Partial Differential Equations (Professor Ian Griffiths), synopsis
- The 8 lectures comprising Further Mathematical Methods (Professor Peter Grindrod), synopsis
B1 Numerical Linear Algebra and Numerical Solution of Differential Equations
The Numerical Linear Algebra and Numerical Solution of Differential Equations core course consists of 24 lectures in MT as follows:
