A meeting for potential MAX students was held on Tuesday October 4th, in the Maths/Physics Building, at 38 Princes St. Feel free to browse through the material presented at this meeting (below). You are very welcome to email Wendy with any questions you still have.

Intending students should now send their completed Max applications as soon as possible in order to receive an application pack. Applying for the course does not commit students to doing it, and nor are the applications accepted until after (satisfactory) Level 2 and 3 school results have been received by the university in late January.

The following presentations were part of the MAX meeting:

• Welcome by Professor James Sneyd, Head of the Department of Mathematics.
• What is Max? an introduction by Peter Bier, Max lecturer, from the Department of Engineering Science.
