There is now an easy way to be better prepared for your university studies.
This course is meant for those of you whose studies at university will include mathematics and who wish to be well prepared before the start of the degree course.
It is designed as a bridging course between secondary school and university. We recommend it to you even if you have done well in mathematics at secondary school. It is eligible for student financial assistance and can be followed entirely on the Internet.
The course is a cooperation between Imperial College and the Centre MATH.SE.
You make your own timetable for your studies, so you can easily adapt them to fit in with any other plans you may have.
Registration and access to forums, support, examination and a personal mentor
The course literature is open and accessible via the Internet. You can register on the course anytime during the year by means of the electronic form on www.math.se and you will be given a user name and password that provides access to all course materials, discussion forums, support, monitoring and tests. You will also be assigned a personal mentor to help you do well in your studies.
Supervision and examination
You may at any time take part in online discussions with fellow students, ask questions and receive guidance from teachers. Examination is via the Internet as you work on the course.
Please note that the course has been designed on the assumption that calculators are not used.
Calculator use in University mathematics varies from course to course; some Departments do not allow it at all, while others permit calculators some of the time. For most tasks, there is in any case no advantage in using a calculator.
How to get the most out of this course
- In any given section, start by reading the review of the theory and then work through the examples.
- Then, work through the practice problems and try to solve them without using a calculator. Check whether you have got the right answer by clicking on the answer button. If you do not have the right answer, you can click on the solution button to see how the problem is done.
- Go on to answer the questions in the basic test.
- If you get stuck, see if this particular topic has been discussed in the forum. Pose a question if you have any queries. Your teacher (or a student) will respond to it within a few hours.
- When you have finished with the exercises and the basic test belonging to a section, you must do a final test to obtain a pass for the section. Here the requirement is answering correctly three questions one after the other in order to move on.
- Having answered correctly both in the basic and final tests, means you have passed that particular section and can advance to the next part of the course.
P.S. If you feel that you are familiar with the contents of a section you can go directly to the basic and final tests. All answer to a test must be correct, but you may redo the test several times, if you do not succeed at first attempt. It is your final results, which appear in the statistics.
