Basic Algebra and Number Systems

This is a learning resource page for Algebra and Number Systems, mainly for Part 1 undergraduates.
It is not specific to any module or programme. Check your syllabus. But the Leeds module MATH1025 Number Systems is relevant. For that module's specification see here and here.

Selected Lecture Notes and Other Reading

The following sets of notes may provide useful support for your studies.

Some handy notes on SETS, COMPLEX NUMBERS, SEQUENCES AND SERIES, and DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS (provisional version) (NB, Matrices are not included).
Some handy notes on RELATIONS (provisional version)
Some more useful links and references on naive set theory, relations and so on, are here.
