Undergraduate mathematics

hello everybody,

I am currently a third year economics student. I am going to be graduating this year and I often wonder what it would have been like had I done a maths degree. So I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to share the maths material that they learn at year 1 so that I can have a flavour of what it's like. Of course, if you are interested in economics, I would be happy to do the same for you. Thanks!
First year for me is this:

analysis
sequence and series
integration and ordinary differential equations
partial derivatives and pde's
mechanics
statistics
algebra
vectors
group theory
rings
combinatorics
complex numbers
linear algebra
matrix

these are the kinds of topics you look at in first year. it's way more proof based

I don't have online copies of my notes but these are similar sort of standard

http://www.math.hawaii.edu/~lee/calculus/Series.pdf (my module has less on this but focuses on way more proofs)

see above forgot to quote.
Seems to be covered above.

I study Mathematical Sciences, so I think my first year might be different in that I have a computing module which has discrete mathematics as the theory side and computing work using MATLAB.

I also have the option of doing Econometrics in the second year as well as some finance-related modules in the second/third year, so for you it'd be doing mostly Maths but getting a flavour of the stuff you like.
