Mathematics Examples, Lecture Notes and Specimen Exam Questions and Natural Sciences Tripos Mathematics examples


Here are the details on using the DAMTP examples sheet system (this is aimed at DAMTP Unix account holders only), and the list of course codes and titles referred to in these pages.

Examples Sheets for Mathematical Tripos courses run by DPMMS are available from the DPMMS website.

Mathematics for the Natural Sciences Tripos: Example Sheets

Example Sheets and course materials for Part IA and IB of the Natural Sciences Tripos have migrated to Moodle, where there is general information about the course. If you are not already enrolled log into Moodle with your Raven password, click on Site home > Schools, Faculties and Departments > Natural Sciences Tripos Committeee > Part IA or Part IB > NST Part IA: Mathematics or NST Part IB: Mathematics then select the Self enrolment icon.

Part III

The Part III example sheets are on a separate page.


get acroread icon These example sheets are available in PostScript and Adobe Portable Document Format (pdf). Adobe Acrobat Reader is a freely available reader for pdf files. With it you will be able to display and print the example sheets and lecture notes below.
