Maths Catalogue

The Project

This StudentShapers funded project was developed by staff and students to provide a resource for any student who is, or will be, studying at Imperial. Whether you are a maths student an engineer or studying the natural sciences this catalogue will tell you what maths you might expect to encounter in your year one modules and links to resources that will help you practice.

This catalogue covers first year modules which have substantial mathematical content within them which is likely to be based on concepts taught in the UK A-level system. The terminology is typically that which is used in the UK educational system, but we are aware that many students come from different systems and have different primary languages. One of the aims of this catalogue is to help those students fill in any gaps caused by different systems or language barriers. Some modules covering more advanced topics, such as mechanics, are not covered here as it is expected that they will be taught from scratch within your programmes. Nevertheless, the intro content in this catalogue will help you with the foundations of all maths.
