MRes Mathematics

Are the lectures on this course aimed specifically at MRes students or are they the same lectures attended by undergrads and is a specific room/area set aside for MRes students to work or do all students muck in together? Are electronic copies of notes made available?Are there recommended textbooks for the Number Theory, Group Theory & Galois Theory and Advanced topics in Pure Maths modules? At what point in the year do people start researching the project? Students have six hours of lectures per week - this does not seem like much for a full time course.

With the caveat that I'm not a mathematician or an MRes grad - your questions do seem a little unusual. Why are those things important to you?

MRes isn't undergrad level, why would classes be shared?
Is having a separate room important to you?
If notes aren't made available will that affect your application decision?
Do you really need to know about textbooks before you've applied?
The course website tells you how much of the course is made up of the research project - from this you can roughly work out when it starts.
Time spent in lectures does not equal time spent studying.

Good luck.
