Nothing really Is there a PDF version of that book online?
I don't know, I got it from the library at uni.
I have a question for people on here: do you study in the library, or do you study in some sort of 'reading room'? We have a reading room at my uni that my friends and I go in most days (when we are uni), but there is only enough room for like 30 students, so I wonder where all of the rest of maths students go to..?

I just study in my room, or in the maths undergrad workroom with a few friends

How is that even possible, that place is a nightmare, always packed full of people talking and stuff. The game in my year at least has always been to walk around until you find an empty supervision area

Well we tend to go there after 9pm-ish, and it is always completely empty, or maybe a couple of people are there. You're not going to find any space one hour before a deadline, for example.

It depends on the kind of environment you're looking for. Personally, I work best either somewhere totally quiet or where there are loads of people talking. I can't work well if there's just one person talking and I can hear their entire conversation.
For quiet/empty areas, one option is to head to the Westwood campus where around the education department there are various buildings with spaces to work dotted around.
No solutions to assignment questions?? That's so harsh.
My unis policy is that we have to get solutions to assignments!
Well you have a very generous uni - we only get solutions to some modules, but they are getting better at releasing them. Very very few past paper solutions too..

We are only guaranteed for lecturers to go through the last past paper in class, it's up to them if they want to release/go through any more papers.
Do you have problem classes where you go through examples similar to assignment questions?

I think it depends on how much support there is in the form of tutorials/supervisions. I know some universities literally just release the solutions to problem sheets and that's the extent of the support whereas, at Oxford/Cambridge, we generally don't get the solutions to any problem sheets but obviously we have tutorials on them. Most universities lie somewhere in-between, but personally I don't find releasing the solutions to problem sheets being very helpful in getting to grips with problem areas

I'm at Warwick, and you're right, we are in-between. We get some solutions and there are supervisions and support classes where you can ask for some solutions to be talked through, which is good.

I've just completed first year at warwick, and we never got given any solutions. Maybe it's different for second years.
