I'm A Maths Student - Ask Me Anything

There was a thread from about 3 years ago that was a similar thing and there was also some sort of AMA program at one point but that seems inactive.

I'm about to enter my 3rd year of a 4 year MMath at a Russell group university (trying to avoid doxxing myself too much)

Feel free to ask anything about university maths.

what do we do to prepare for it? the transition from school to uni math specifically (this seems to be hardest for most)

And how good is newcastle university for maths, and statistics

Do you study the topics in Further Maths in Year 1?

Is there mostly Pure? Statistics? Mecanics? Decision Maths?

Yes . It's more like term 1 than the whole year and there are bits of "further maths" dotted into even parts of second year.

There's mostly whatever you want there to be most of, at least once you get to the later years. In first year you'll probably have to do everything (except decision, which doesn't really come up at my uni except dotted here and there in second year). Once you get to second year you'll probably have more choice over which you pick. I'm not very good at mechanics so I don't do mechanics anymore.

There might be slightly more pure on a standard maths course but that's because a lot of the time it's important for other modules.

I think it can be stressful as a transition but in my opinion, you need to just keep your brain occupied in the summer. Refresh your memory on the A-Level content. If you didn't do further maths, maybe try to look through a bit of it.
That being said, don't stress yourself out before you even get there. It can be a hard transition but unless you want to try to find university content before you're even there, everybody is in the same boat.
As for Newcastle, I know somebody there who is enjoying it, I can't speak for the course specifically though.
