Learning Objectives
Students who successfully complete the unit should:
use techniques from abstract algebra and mathematical analysis to solve problems in geometry;
Lectures, including examples and revision classes, supported by lecture notes with problem sets and model solutions.
80% Examination and 20% Coursework.
Raw scores on the examinations will be determined according to the marking scheme written on the examination paper. The marking scheme, indicating the maximum score per question, is a guide to the relative weighting of the questions. Raw scores are moderated as described in the Undergraduate Handbook.
