I found a small whiteboard helpful for maths.

I'm studying maths as part of my degree so this is a helpful suggestion, better than using a notebook

Most of the module materials will be posted to you or available on the online moodle system so just really whatever stationery and organisational tools you feel would benefit you. If you like making written notes a pen and paper is obviously a good start. But it's really down to personal usage/preference if you have your laptop and Internet connection and what they've posted you :smile:
