Reading and writing skills

A note on how to best go about reading a mathematical text (in Swedish) can be found by clicking here.

A note on how to get started with TeX can be found here. TeX is a system for computer typesetting of text that produces texts with mathematics content of the highest typographic quality. Most modern mathematical texts are typeset using TeX. The system is completely free and very powerful, so if you want to hand in typeset assignments or typeset your mathematics thesis, TeX is the system for you. It takes a little time to become really proficient, but start by downloading and installing the package and look at some sample document and you will soon be typesetting like a pro!

Revision of pre-university mathematics

http://www.mathtutor.ac.uk is an excellent site containing video tutorials, summary texts and self-assessment tests for people who want to revise some topics of pre-university mathematics.

Free numerical computation package

GNU Octave is a high-level language for numerical computations. In the labs you can use MATLAB, but this is not free software and you have only got free access to it as long as you are covered by the university’s licence. GNU Octave is completely free and mostly compatible with MATLAB, so you can do your computations on your computer at home also after you finish your university studies.
