Studying Mathematics at Manchester

Thanks, what job are you hoping to get after your degree? And do you have enough free time to have a part time job whilst in uni?

I'm looking into audit and technology consulting.

- Technology consulting being when businesses want some sort of IT system put in place and ask us to do it.
- Audit being the evaluation of a product, person or process. In the case of accounting, it is the evaluation of financial statements which underpins the integrity of the company.

You can do a part-time job and study your degree, but I personally do not. I have a lot of things to do and a part-time job would only get in the way.

With studying maths at Manchester, would you say there's a good chance working at an Investment Bank eventually? Do you know anyone who has?

So who's studying maths here in September?

Struggling to find anyone!

Just curious, has anyone else doing maths not received their acceptance letter yet?

Hello

Bsc Maths here, however I'm going to take up MMath (assuming I'm allowed) if I really enjoy the course. Do you know what sort of things we need to prepare for and bring?

Also, what halls are you in?

I think we should expect info from the uni in the coming week/2 weeks. The only info I've got is an email telling me to sign up online & confirm attendance, which I've done.

Fresher's week starts on the 17th (start of term), and lectures start on the 24th. Just under 1 month!

The excitement's building!

I've heard rumour that we're only allowed scientific calculators

Is anyone studying maths at manchester or is going to study and they had a gap year? Or are they picky?

Hey, just wondering what books you recommend getting from the library?

I'm planning on moving in on the 13th and may grab some books if I get chance. Really want to get off to a good start so is there any thing else you can recommend me doing/getting to put myself in the best situation?

Cheers

James

Hi James,

The only one you really need in first semester is Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning by Peter Eccles.

In the second semester it's a Modern Introduction to Linear Algebra by David Poole.

Hi Darren,

Thanks for the reply, I'm looking at buying one used off ebay/amazon if I can find one for a good price. Do you know if there are different versions and if so is there a specific version I should get?

Sorry for all the questions, thanks again.

James
