MATHEMATICS NOTES

These notes have been used over many years for various courses at Macquarie University.  We at Macquarie have been quite innovative with course content and, while we teach material that’s widely taught in undergraduate courses, we also include an elementary account of quite a bit of material that’s only taught elsewhere in advanced postgraduate courses.

 

Though mathematically rigorous, the style in these notes is informal and they include numerous “stories” to illustrate the concepts.  There are many exercises with solutions.

Feedback can be sent to Christopher.Cooper@mq.edu.au.

STORIES ABOUT GOD

As a lay preacher in the Uniting Church I have produced a number of stories, some for children and others that are more for adults.

But no one is too old to appreciate stories and, as Jesus knew, often the best way to get across a deep truth is through a story.
