Mathematics for Information Technology/Biotechnologists
(FNC010/FNC013)

Welcome to the webpage of foundation course FNC013, Mathematics for information technology, and FNC010, Mathematics for Biotechnologists. This course covers the basic calculus and probabilistic methods required to confront the mathematical rigours of the MSc in IT/MSc in Biotechnology course.

This page will contain links to all (eventually) the course lecture notes as well as problem sets and solutions. Please come back often as I intend to update this regularly.
