Texts for some papers are in the Short Loan Collection in the Science Library on City Campus. Calculators and Computers For Stage I Mathematics, any calculator with the capabilities of a Casio fx82L will be sufficient. Some papers prohibit the use of calculators in examinations. However, paper 445.102 permits graphics calculators. If there is in any doubt as to the eligibility of a particular calculator, check with the lecturer before the examination.
Many students do have access to computers in their own homes.
It is not, however, necessary to own a computer to do Mathematics, Statistics or Computer Science. The laboratory facilities of the departments are available for students who do not own their own computers, and in any event, computing packages are available on the laboratory machines which are unlikely to be found on most home computers. The hours that the laboratories are open include evenings, weekends and holidays. Refer to the information in section 3.7 on using the computer laboratory.
