1. Preliminary Choice of Options 2013-2014

All students on Maths degrees who are not graduating  this year are asked to make a premilinary  choice of options for next year before the end of the Term 3 (7 June 2013).

This choice does not replace entering your choices on PORTICO. Neither does this commit you to these options, nor does it register you on them. However, your choice here may affect whether or not Maths modules run, size of rooms booked for lectures and gives you priority on a place on the Maths moudles you choose. Thus please make sure you do submit a preliminary choice.

Please click here for further information, including list of representatives.

5. Personal tutors

All current undergraduate students in the Maths department have a personal tutor. Except for first year students (where one of your academic tutors is also your personal tutor) the role of your personal tutor is not to help with mathematical problems, but is someone to whom you can go for general advice/help and who hould be able to provide you with a reference when required. Your personal tutor will also ask to see you periodically to discuss how you are getting on, and to fill in with you a brief report on your progress.

Formal matters such as change of degree, interruption, extenuating circumstances, certification of attendance, change of exam entries, resits, etc, will have to be discussed with the departmental tutor (me), but you may ike to discuss some of these things first with your personal tutor first.

You can find information about who is your personal tutor by looking on your portico record. Please let me know of any problems/discrepancies.

6. Mathematics Student Library

This is a small library of text-books in the department, available for borrowing, in Room 503. It is run by student librarians and the opening times are published soon after the start of term.
