[Until 1 October 2012: Special Regulations for the Honour Moderations in Mathematics

A

The subjects of examination shall be Mathematics and its applications. The syllabus and the number of papers shall be as prescribed by regulation from time to time by the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Board. Candidates must offer all the papers in the same academic year, and also offer a practical assessment which has not been taken into account in a previous sitting of Honour Moderations.

B

1. 1. Each candidate shall offer four papers as follows:
   1. A. Pure Mathematics I
   2. B. Pure Mathematics II
   3. C. Applied Mathematics I
   4. D. Applied Mathematics II
2. 2. The syllabus for each paper will be published by the Mathematical Institute in a handbook for candidates by the beginning of the Michaelmas Full Term in the academic year of the examination, after consultation with the Mathematics Teaching Committee. Each paper will contain questions of a straightforward character.
3. 3. The Chairman of Mathematics, or a deputy, shall make available to the moderators evidence showing the extent to which each candidate has pursued an adequate course of practical work. In assessing a candidate's performance in the examination, the moderators shall take this evidence into account. Where there are deadlines for handing in practical work these will be published in a handbook for candidates by the beginning of the Michaelmas Full Term in the academic year of the examination.
4. 4. Candidates are usually required to submit such practical work electronically. Details will be given in the handbook for the practical course. Any candidate who is unable, for some reason, to submit practical work electronically must apply to the Academic Administrator, Mathematical Institute, for permission to submit the work in paper form. Such applications must reach the Academic Administrator two weeks before the deadline for submitting the work.
5. 5. No candidate shall be declared worthy of Honours who is not deemed worthy of Honours on the basis of papers A-D and no candidate shall be awarded a Pass who has not shown competence on these papers.
6. 6. The use of calculators is generally not permitted but certain kinds may be allowed for certain papers. Specifications of which papers and which types of calculators are permitted for those exceptional papers will be announced by the examiners in the Hilary Term preceding the examination.]
