Calculus - Essential University Mathematics: Calculus

This is a much enhanced set of lecture notes presented as part of the mathematics programme in the Mathematics Department of King's College, London. The aim here is to offer a clear exposition of many of the essential results from calculus. The student is expected to be both curious and willing to persevere. This is not intended to be a cookbook of recipes but rather to present not just the what but also the why.

Foundation of Number Theory

This book is on the presentation of the fundamental concepts in the number theory:
divisibility, greatest common divisor, Euclidean algorithm, congruences, diophantine equations. The three classical theorems: Wilson’s theorem, Fermat’s Little theorem and Euler’s
theorem together with its applications are also presented.

Lectures on Statistics

This is a course on the theory of statistics at the advanced undergraduate (or beginning graduate) level. The goal is to prepare students to use probability to understand statistical inference. Some more advanced topics include decision theory and its relation to Bayes procedures. There is also material on order statistics and on the bootstrap.
