Abstract

In this paper we describe a modular first year course which provides considerable flexibility in its content, both as a service course and as a preparation for a mathematics degree, while making efficient use of staff time. The structure of the course also makes it easily adaptable to any new requirements resulting, for example, from changes in school syllabi.
