MA10110 Coordinate and Vector Geometry

MT10110 Geometreg Gyfesurynnol a Fectoraidd

picture of a hyperbola Welcome to the online material to complement the lectures for Coordinate and Vector Geometry.

Overview

The lecture notes, which include all the theory and examples that we will cover in lectures but not the solutions to those examples, are available below. There is also further useful information here, for example formula sheets and links.

There will be four assessed assignments (made available below when we have covered the relevant material in lectures, every fortnight). You are required to scan and submit your answers for marking (and credit towards the module mark) on Blackboard, and then you will have a compulsory tutorial at which you can discuss any parts that you found hard and go through the model solutions. The tutorials are there for your benefit - please make the most of them.

I am available to help you with understanding the lecture notes, completing the problems, or working through past exams. (Note that I will not provide solutions to previous exams, although I plan to go through last year's exam in lectures.) Please email me (sxc) to arrange a convenient time, or talk to me at the end of a lecture.
