Location: Live on Zoom
Times: 10am to 5pm (9am first day)
Content:
- Confidently check if a condition is necessary or sufficient
- Use straightforward rules to analyse statements with multiple quantifiers, negations, and conditionals
- Immediately spot the sources of common flaws in proofs, such as additional or missed solutions
- Deal with counterexamples, consequences, and assumptions, even in completely unfamiliar contexts
- Avoid common pitfalls, like functions on limited domains, or manipulations that only work if a quantity is positive
2) 1-day Group Maths-Centred Interview Course
Dates: Various weekend dates available
Location: Live on Zoom
Mock interview: get a 30 min mock interview resembling a Cambridge Computer Science interview and receive individual feedback. Your mock is held in front of the other students to help to replicate the pressure of the real thing.
Interview practice and advice:
– Observe the interviews that other students get, allowing you to learn from each other and compare approaches to the questions
– Come away with access to Maths interview questions you most likely won’t have seen before
– Group discussion of all questions used, plus general interview advice
Plus the following recorded version of our live Maths Admissions Summer School:
– Content (first 3 days) – MAT and STEP past questions based on Year 12 Maths, which are useful for all maths admissions papers
– Learn how to plan for and present all of the most essential kinds of proof
– Examine the subtlest aspects of manipulating inequalities
– Perfect your understanding of necessary and sufficient conditions
– Analyse unfamiliar graphs with symmetry tricks
– Master the art of dividing problems by cases
– Content (day 4) – A selection of short, CTMUA-Paper-1-style maths questions for practising key techniques.

Testimonials:
“Using the online resources, I felt there was somewhere I could turn every time I had a question!” –Charlotte
“It’s really helpful to see the best way to tackle a question and what to start with. In particular, the use of diagrams to explain problems made a lot of the explanations very clear.” – Siddharth
“There are some topics which are never covered at A-Level and are assumed to just be intuitive but often aren’t, and this course allows you to see a more in-depth overview of how to tackle CTMUA-specific questions” –Archie
