Robin Chapman's Teaching Page

I collect here material associated to my present and past lecture courses and other stuff related to teaching.

Lecture notes

• A Guide to Arithmetic
  This is a chatty summary (without proofs) of my Number Theory course, as given in 1993-1994.
• Notes on Algebraic Numbers
  A summary (with proofs) of my Algebraic Numbers course, as given in 1994-1995.

• Computing the Jordan Canonical Form describes my method for doing it.
• Some problems and investigations is a collection of open-ended first-year level problems.
