Mathematics Student Handbook


The handbook is now available for download. This content of the online version will take precedence over the printed copy, since it can be updated more efficiently.


Philosophical notes...

This handbook is the culmination of much planning, consulting, and effort on the part of MASCOT (past and present), and the math department faculty (also past and present). However it is, and will remain, a work of constant progress, change, and improvement. Its purpose is to help Trent (and possibly other) mathematics students in their quest for answers to common questions and difficulties.
