Algebraic Curves

The 2017 version of the course was run via Moodle but here is some static information.

Past exams

Below are all the past exams for the unit, together with the comments supplied by the 2015-16 lecturer (not me) for most of them, explaining how the conventions and coverage differed from what happened in that year. Since I used his notes when I lectured the unit is 2017-18, his comments are still applicable and no further comments on the 2015-16 or 2017-18 exams are necessary.
