Feedback from participants

“It is very helpful for those who haven’t done maths for a long time”.
“For first-year students who completed secondary school longer ago, it is a fantastic opportunity to refresh any forgotten topics!”
“Without the Mathematics Warm-up course, I wouldn’t have passed some of the exams because the pace during the lectures was much too fast for me”.
