Applied Maths Learning Resources

This is another part of my site that's been sadly neglected. Email me if you want to give me a prod to do something with it.

General Basics

These things are likely to be most useful to those who are about to begin an applied maths course, or who are in their first year of one. One note - the word `basic' in the header of this section implies only that these are concepts on which many other concepts are built. It doesn't imply that everybody should already know everything covered here.

• RUReady for ODEs? - a set of web-based quizzes to check your understanding of some basic concepts needed for an applied maths course. It covers logs, exponentials, differentiation, integration and series, and gives helpful advice when you get something wrong. You'll need Javascript turned on.
• Vector Calculus Web Page by Kris Green at the University of Arizona
• Techniques of proof and problem solving by Deborah Stacey at the University of Guelph. It seems to be mainly aimed at courses such as b1 Logic, but the beginning has generally useful advice on proving theorems.
