Courses Notes and Problems


AIMS PGD 7

AIMS' 7th Posgraduate Diploma (PGD) programme commenced 24 August 2009. The PGD is currently in the Review Courses phase, a four-month period when students study advanced topics in mathematics and mathematical modelling.

Here you can find the course notes as the lecturers choose to maintain them. These notes might be in flux, limited to internal access at AIMS, or access to solutions restricted at times while the students work on projects. If you look at the URL of most course pages, the link includes the email address (all AT aims.ac.za) of the relevant visiting lecturer, should you wish to contact them.
