PX161-10 UG Tutorial Materials

I designed these tutorial materials for first-year undergraduate students in Maths with Physics and Physics with Astrophysics. In the Autumn term, they align with the curriculum of PX145 and PX155, providing comprehensive support for your studies. Feel free to contact me for solutions or additional guidance.


  • Week 2: see "Complex Number" worksheet
  • Week 6: see "Curve Sketching" worksheet
  • Week 9: see "Waves" worksheet
