Dear 1B student:
The following are some possible solutions to problems from past Tripos papers contributed by several of your supervisors. They are intended as revision aids, to be consulted only after a serious attempt has been made to solve them yourselves and in order to allow you to get the most out of your supervisions. The Cavendish has stressed that these solutions do not constitute ‘official’ answers.
If you find these useful in preparation for your exams, you are strongly encouraged to inform your supervisors of the existence of this database so that any solutions they are willing to make available to all students (and other supervisors) may be added to this site. The course Student Representative should be contacted with any queries, comments or supplements.
This database will only continue to exist and expand through your participation. I hope it will become more comprehensive with time, so that as many people as possible may benefit from it.
I would be glad to answer any questions regarding the compilation and distribution of this material, in order to help anyone interested in extending this idea to other subjects get started.
My contact details are: Naaman Tammuz, nt242@cam.ac.uk (1B NST)
Good Luck!
Many Thanks to the following for their time and generous contributions:
