University Preparation

If you are planning on applying to do a Maths based course at University then it would be advisable to read around the subject a little and explore beyond the curriculum. I suggest you take advantage of the many ideas I have posted on this page in order to make you a more rounded Mathematician and also to help when writing your personal statement.

Mathematics and Engineering Courses

1.   Students planning on pursuing Maths based courses at University or sitting the STEP papers would benefit from these modules compiled by NRICH - Click here

2.  Challenging Worked examples - Click here and Click here

3.  Hungarian Maths Problems - The different sets were entrance examinations for different majors, such as engineering or mathematics - Click here 

4.  Some interesting questions only requiring AS Maths but more thought provoking can be found here with the Oxford Physics Aptitude Tests Maths section - Click here

5.  MEI Produce regular problems for those who like a challenge - Click here

6.  Applying to Uni for Physics or Engineering - Click here

7.  HELM - Helping Engineers Learn Mathematics is a project to support the mathematical education of engineering students and consists of modules from AS level to topics not covered on the Further Mathematics course, it would be a great idea to work through some of these independently prior to starting university - Click here
